A Vital Testament To How Art Makes Us Who We AreAnd Offers New Ways Of Seeing Our World And Our Lives.Barbara Kruger Once Defined Art As The Ability To Show And Tell, Through A Kind Of Eloquent Shorthand, How It Feels To Be Alive. Testing That Claim, How It Feels To Be Alive Braids Criticism With Personal Narrative To Consider ArtS Intimate Effects And How It Might Help Us Find Clarity In An Uncertain World.When Megan OGrady Was A Teenager, She Saw A Photograph In A Museum That Changed Her Life. At The End Of An Early Marriage, Art Stoked New Ways Of Thinking About Connection And Transformation. As A New Parent, It Guided Her To Confront Vulnerability And Shame. Whether Seeking A Home Or Contending With Crises Personal, Political, And Ecological, Art Was A Critical Lifeline, A Source Of Beauty, Solace, And Provocation.Looking Closely At Five Artworks And The Context In Which Each Was MadeOften Drawing On Personal Conversations With The ArtistsOGrady Examines The WorkS Rippling Impact, Implicating Sometimes Unexpected Lineages And Genres. How Does Art Expand And Redirect Our Imaginations And Attention? When BottomLine Or Nihilistic Thinking Dominates Our Public Sphere, What Meanings And Alternatives Does It Offer? A Vital Call To Engage Deeply, To See In New Ways, And To Rethink All That We Take For Granted, How It Feels To Be Alive Inspires And Exhorts, Providing A Template To Think Through The Knottiest Problems In Our Culture, Our Selves, And The Connections Between The Two.
