"As there is less stimulation people will find less reason
to do art, and if they *do* art it will, to me,
lack content and expression.  It's coming from a different
place...They only want safe culture, culture with a capital "K,"
things that can be easily sold and that preserve the
status quo.  And if they can encourage enough people to 
play the role of the bohemian artist well it's good for
the city:  the making of an art product that is saleable"

					Elliot Sharp on the New York City
					(lower east side) "art" scene.
