Attitude
When we create our own contemporary art, we are influenced
so much by the West that we accept those forms of contemporary
art and unawarely copy their standards. We must be aware
of how important it is to establish our own cultural standards
and values and avoid blindly existing and experimenting
under the standard and system from the west.
