Cut and Splice 2

After considering the Thursday night Cut and Splice, I am aware of the significance of performance and/or presentation of the work.
I commented below on John Wynne's installation, but think the work of Nicolas Collins and Tetsuo Kogawa was made stronger by the performative angle to their work.
No matter how much artists want to have their work considered just for its own sake, the more accessible it is and accepting of the listeners'/viewers' requirements it is, it seems to me, the better the work is received.
Obviously this should not mean a simplification or dumbing-down of the work, rather, a note for me as an artist that not everybody knows what I am on about and a recognition of that would be sensible.
