How Art is Made

I’ve been seeing a run of comedy at the Fringe Festival so far this year, and I was starting to feel a need to find something to sink my teeth into. Lucky for me, Assassinating Thomson, while amusing, also gives the audience a great deal to consider during this 75-minute production.
Bruce Horak wrote his play in conjunction with Monster Theatre, and it is fascinating to hear him talk about his painting, the difference between art and painting, and how art is constructed, where it is seen, where it comes from. Horak’s own life story comes into play, as we must consider his viewpoint—as a legally blind person with only 10% of normal vision—and how he sees his art.
