And the arts contribute to the quality of life, they also contribute to the economy of communities. Without the arts, the communities suffer, life would be pretty boring. So if you're looking at diversity in the state, you're also looking at situations whereby you can attract business, if you don't have an interesting climate for people to come to work and enjoy life. There's a deficit there. So the arts are vital to life, they are essential in their basic and it irritates me a little bit to always have the public or other people think that they peripheral.

If you look at technology, the arts are interfacing with all of those technologies.

What universities provide, that other places don't provide, are laboratories for artists to experiment, cutting edge, we call it.

But it was not realistic. Because in Austin, we just finished a similar proposal for one and a half million dollars and a half million dollar multimedia lab.

Obviously, I happen to know David black, I went to Ohio State where he's a professor. I studied with him some 25 years ago, and that he says still as feisty as he ever was, and still is controversial. I've only seen photographs of the sculpture. I haven't had a chance to get down to see the actual sculpture. It certainly is interesting that in Ohio When would have an impression of the desert and etc. And whether its color choices do that having only lived here a couple of weeks, I'm not sure. Nonetheless, I think that it's always a controversy when you're dealing with art and public places in a tight economy and you put contemporary art into a community that may just be getting used to work, there's always controversy in any kind of art. And that's what makes art interesting, as well as challenging the fact that if everyone liked it, it would be so trite and boring that we would soon grow weary of it, if you're going to put that kind of investment. But I don't think that Tucson is an anti contemporary art community. To the contrary, my impression was that it wasn't.

But there are a lot of people in this community who travel extensively, who understand the arts and promoted. And supposedly, as I understand it, Tucson is called the art city. And the downtown Arts District, for example, is very much attuned to that. On the other hand, there is a large contention of Southwest artists and regional artists who probably take art in another kind of direction from the most contemporary, the most avant garde, avant garde is always more difficult and takes education.

And this was not an easy decision, it took a long time to come to it. And it became a collaborative decision between my family and myself. I came here because throughout my career, I've been interested in more than the visual arts. I've been very involved with aesthetic education, discipline based art, education, art criticism, and I have training and interest in teaching and drama, in music and in art. And Edina, Fine Arts offered an opportunity to expand those skills to New Directions rather than just the visual arts. Austin and University of Texas certainly had a lot to offer. And I was very comfortable, were in very successful. And I was courted here with some promises that some of these budget things would not be as bad as they currently are. And with with the hope that the new complex that's developing, and the fact that this place has talent in terms of personality, and is anxious to move somewhere else, in terms of quality, having known quality and another place, it seems that the leadership I could provide was needed at this time, and it was a good match.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1078/collection_resources/73616/file/159911#t=749.0,815.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1078/collection_resources/73616/file/159911/transcript/37811/annotation/19","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: What kind of goals do you have?

So it's going ahead of schedule, but what's happening is a very fine arts complex will be built for in the neighborhood of $18 million worth of new space, about 131,000 square feet of new space and 100,000 of renovated space.
