I had this idea about talking about art.

The first idea was something about the imagined versus the self and when and how does one become more aligned in one than the other.

The one and the self.

The next idea was about the physicality of art and how much of its need to be an object taking up a discreet number of atoms to create and carry a message through the human consciousness

How big is the box?

The next idea was about the length of the idea in relation to the artist, how many different sizes of boxes related to the real and imagined.

I had this idea about graphing all of this.

But then I had another idea.

Brooklyn band the Loyales and a giant host of guest performers will pay tribute to the great Willie Nelson with a program of Willie songs.
