Asunción Lozano, un paso más El arte establece conexiones porque los artistas lo usan para conectar, porque los artistas luchan para expresar no sólo la anatomía del cuerpo humano, sino la anatomía de la condición humana y del universo que la afecta. Si la mayoría de las disciplinas cava fosos, el arte tiende puentes.
Asunción Lozano, one step more Art connects because artists make it connect, because artists strive to express not just the anatomy of bodies but the anatomy of the human condition and of the universe that impinges upon it. If most disciplines dig moats, art builds bridges. D. Perkins: The intelligent Eye: Learning To Think by Looking at Art. Getty Center for Education in the Arts, Los Angeles CA, (1994. Pag. 105)

Tendiendo puentes A pesar de entender la expresión artística desde muy diversas perspectivas, me interesa especialmente aquella que utiliza los medios del arte para provocar la reflexión y perseverar en la idea de que el ser humano debe ser ante todo rebelde y no resignarse con el prototipo de persona que el sistema establecido ha construido para nosotros. En el contexto activamente actual de la creación artística –artistas, educadores, coordinadores, etc.- la reflexión estética ha ordenado que el concepto de arte, también el de estética, sea distinto al de la tradición
