The theme this year will be 
Art and the Ultimate:
Turtles or Telos?
​
What does this title mean? Is there an ultimate grounding of the universe, something upon which everything else is based, a ‘telos’ or end or goal or reason for the existence of all that is? Or does any basis for the universe simply remain shrouded forever in ambiguity, as the ancient Greeks said: 
             “What does the earth sit on?”
             “A big turtle.”
             “What does the turtle sit on?”
             “Another big turtle.”
             “What does that turtle sit on?”
             “It’s turtles all the way down.”
