Writer also mentions that this is a problem in literature as well in art — competitions which feeds into the art market ruins the spirit of artmaking, and yet critiques on it never provides solution and just become another polemic.

It is more of a bridge, a pathway, for something to pass through. Danarto sees writing as a necessity therefore the reading of those...
