This may be what I would like art to do, among other things 
significantly less rational, but I'm not sure it has that 
responsibility outright, and I think an artist consumed with these 
goals during creation will be off the mark.

Very interesting. But if you're referring to abstract sculpture in 
public places, I would link that more to music like Stravinsky than 
more contemporary abstract music (an example of which currantly 
escapes me). Just a thought.
