Quote:When someone witnesses something amazing, what matters most is not 'out there'. it's about the long, slow process of learning to SEE.But the greatest art, the greatest wonder of all, is just what is going on when you are looking at something.” In this far-ranging, in-depth interview, Weschler discusses the nature of art and consciousness saying “the most important thing about what art is, is how you perceive yourself perceiving the things that ARE. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder," "Seeing is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees," and "Everything that Rises: A Book of Convergences." This week's guest on REPORT FROM SANTA FE is Lawrence Weschler, author of works of creative nonfiction and staff writer at the New Yorker for twenty years where his work shuttled between political tragedies and cultural comedies.
