LL: [[strikethrough]] Well, [[/strikethrough]] Unfortunately I don't think there are going to be many changes taking place immediately. I think probably the art world is going to be able to absorb conceptual art as another movement and not pay too much attention to it. [[strikethrough]] because [[/strikethrough]] The art world depends so greatly on objects and on things which can be bought and sold that I don't expect it to do too much about conceptual art that is approved due to prevailing systems. [[strikethrough]] I find it shocking that the people whom Seth was handling and and no longer is handling because he doesn't want to be a dealer or anything haven't been taken up immediately by galleries. [[/strikethrough]]

UM: I don't understand.

LL: The people that Seth was handling, Doug Huebler and Bob Barry, and so on don't have galleries and now that Seth is no longer really doing that kind of thing. In a way I think it's good because they don't belong in galleries(?), but in another sense it's insane that the galleries didn't think to grab them, because they are among the most artists. Maybe they will. I think the galleries are very loath to handle that kind of thing because they feel it can't be sold, and what are they going to do with it and so on. So I think what's going to happen is that [[strikethrough]] it's going to be [[/strikethrough]] another culture, will have to arise. I think it's already clear that these are two very different ways of seeing things and of thinking about things, [[strikethrough]] It even breaks up into social groups and so on. And this one will have rounded?....It's soo hard to really dfine, and I'm getting into personalities and so on. I think [[/strikethrough]] and not as clean as uptown and downtown thinking a traditional split in too our world. One of the important things about [[strikethrough]] this group, and one of the reasons why it's important to what I want to way about [[/strikethrough]] the new, dematerialized art is that it provides a way of getting the power structure out of New York and spreading it around [[strikethrough]] places [[/strikethrough]]
