And indeed, while we've tended to polarize the amateur from the professional, the single most exciting development in the last five to 10 years has been the rise of the professional hybrid artist, the professional artist who works, not primarily in the concert hall or on the stage; but most frequently around women's rights, or human rights, or on global warming issues or AIDS relief for more -- not out of economic necessity, but out of a deep, organic conviction that the work that she or he is called to do cannot be accomplished in the traditional hermetic arts environment.
I zaista, dok pokušavamo razdvojiti amatere od profesionalaca, jedini najuzbudljiviji razvoj u posljednjih pet do 10 godina bio je uspon hibridnih profesionalnih umjetnika, profesionalnih umjetnika, koji rade, ne primarno u koncertnim dvoranama ili na pozornici, već uglavnom oko ženskih pitanja, ili ljudskih pitanja, ili pitanja globalnog zagrijavanja ili pomoći oko SIDE, ne uslijed ekonomske nužnosti, već zbog dubokog, organskog uvjerenja da posao koji su ona, ili on, pozvani da naprave ne može se napraviti tradicionalno u hermetičkom umjetničkom okruženju.
