could be a government subsidy of artists who are open for a certain time a year to any students from any place who wanted to talk to him. There'd be little cores (courts) of hi them. It's a medieval idea, I'll admit-then [[/strikethrough]]

[[strikethrough]]
UM: I think second part of the idea is impractical to mind because it wold be difficult to operate [[/strikethrough]]

[[strikethrough]]
LL: Oh, I'm sure this in the realm of theoretical ideas and soon. But I think it is important. Europe is probably now a more fertile. Seth feels but I don't feel it's so interesting that I want to go and live there. If I have to go live there... But I think Europe is important because partly [[/strikethrough]] Charles Harrison, an editor a studio [[?]], pointed out that Paris and the various European cities [[strikethrough]] there [[/strikethrough]] are in the position that new York was in [[strikethrough]], say in [[/strikethrough]] around 1939. There is a gallery and museum structure, but it is so dull and irrelevant and uninteresting that there's a much more wide open [[strikethrough]] feeong [[/strikethrough]] feeling that it can be bypassed, that new things can be done; there's a void that somehow needs filling. Whereas in New York, the gallery -money-power structure is so strong [[strikethrough]] , [[/strikethrough]] that it's [[strikethrough]] actually [[/strikethrough]] going to be very difficult to set up an alternative [[strikethrough]] structure [[/strikethrough]] toit. [[strikethrough]] It has a grasp hold on the money. [[/strikethrough]]

[[left margin]] Europe may be more fertile now than the US for new art ideas & new structures for disseminating art. Certainly Canada is.
[[/left margin]] 

UM: [[strikethrough]] A grasp? A hold....No, [[/strikethrough]] Yes. There's a strange re-awakening in Europe. [[strikethrough]] You know after the war I thought they would be....you know Italy had Fascism and Germany had Nazism and France was broken up, and they had to reassemble their...., so to say. [[/strikethrough]]

LL: [[strikethrough]] But also even that brokenness - I think [[/strikethrough]] Maybe they realize now that their isolation, [[strikethrough]] and the same with South AMERICA [[/strikethrough]] can work very much to their advantage, if there are enough good artists around to make it work. [[strikethrough]] which is another doubt I have. [[/strikethrough]]
