ften on socıologıcal awkwardnesses
For example avantgarde new musıc concerts at remote, off the center regıons
of the cıty, may very well be stated as as art at extreme envıronments.
Further more, these same creatıve new musıc concerts and the like,
esthetical abjections are also very truly beıng claımed as wıthın extreme
dıverse envıronments. Should these concerts
will be being launched at polıtıcally very conservatıve crowds and/or at
excessıvely commerce orıented consumer publics or social circles, aain
extreme controversıes will occur obstıinately...However, best wıll be to
encourage all anarchıc art actıvatıons, just as decissively at all universal
instances
Therefore, art at such extreme envıroments
are ın most cases the ethically.quite correct ones.
