>People don't seem to actively comment on the meaning of their own art in the way that they used to.
this is interesting. i think modern artists think art should be or should appear as spontaneous. if you explain how and why you do your art until the last drops of meaning you probably sound like a phony, or you just broke the ilusion, you make it a rational game. which is contrary to the intention of making art in first place.
anyway in modern art there are plenty of totally serious people justifying their art and can be unbearable (and cringe) too. so i dont know, each coin has two sides.
maybe you just have to do your thing in this post post pre post modernist amalgam and see how it goes,
