        <title>The Continuum | Arts &amp; Christianity</title>
        <description>Audio from Continuum events including lectures, discussions, readings and other recordings. The Continuum is a local community of Christian artists seeking growth through camaraderie with like-minded individuals who share a passion for the creative expression of the Imago Dei, the ability to find pleasure in the transcendent and a desire to engage culture with culture for the purpose of impacting it through acts of creative excellence. </description>

            <itunes:subtitle>A discussion on art in response to the documentary, Exit Through the Gift Shop.</itunes:subtitle>
            <itunes:summary>Roughly fifteen artists and friends gathered to watch and discuss the movie Exit Through the Gift Shop. We asked and considered several questions including What is Art, which we believe we solved (you can thank us later). O.K., so if not solved, at least considered along with tradition, branding, money, critics, power, patronship, creativity and making all as they relate to art (all questions raised by the film). The discussion hopefully will get you considering what your place in these things might be both as an artist and consumer of arts. The discussion is lead by Continuum Fellow, Kent Smith.</itunes:summary>

Never disagreeing that there can be gain from critical analysis, he, nevertheless, concludes that not all stories require such a scientific approach and that substantial value is lost if delight is set aside in favor of criticism.</itunes:summary>
