Is Art Fun?: Grace shudders at the word ‘fun’. Xandra believes it to be essential. Is fun productive? Can you have fun and be taken seriously as an artist? They question societal expectations of fun, and explore their personal pleasures, with nods to The Princess Diaries series, the Twilight movies, Batman, and genuine academic joy. by The Art Life
