of things and such.
2 Things to say today:
1. Justifying my existence (in the art world):
I am in the art world and justify my existence in it because of my passion for art and the amount of work I've put into it. If I were to put so much work into any world, I deserve to be part of it - anybody does. ln addition to this I am automatically part of the art world because of the art I've put into it. This justifies my existence in the art world and also the real world. We are justified by what we do and put into it; whatever we are is justified by some means because otherwise we would not be where we are. Whether the means we used to reach that position are pure or polluted - the position an individual occupies is justified because of the actions he made to get there. I am justified to be where I am in the art world because of the actions I made to arrive there. I am here because I am here and therefore I am justified in being here because I AM here.
2. Random stuff floating around the blogosphere:
One of the questions I've been asking sculptors has been, "How does technology influence your art?". I didn't get any brilliant answer from any of the students that I "interviewed", but have been keeping my eyes open for some interesting uses of technology. Here's some sculptor's I find most intriguing:
He's actually a grad student from VCU, (after graduation from Cooper Union) and is currently living in New York! I shot him an e-mail with some questions... he *might* respond, and if he does I'll post it.
Got caught up on some blog reading today... somebody might find this stuff interesting...
"Unmistakable, clear-as-the-nose-on-your-face rule number one: If the place where you put your art looked better before you put art the art there, you’ve screwed up. Patently evident rule number two: If a work of art is less interesting after you’ve placed it in the public environment, you’ve likewise made a misstep."\
