Money

    How do artists make a living?
    Besides the selected few who actually make a living from their work, how can an artist afford to be an artist?
    The bottom line is: should art pay for itself? Should it be efficient in an economic sense?
    Most practicing artists either have money from their day jobs, or from their families.
    The funny thing is: the first group seem heroic, and the second - fakes.
    Why? Why is there so much resentment towards people who decide to spend the money they have on doing something they love?
    Is it because we, as the public, feel betrayed, as if they stopped playing the game with their audience? After all, if they don't care about (our, or government - which comes out to the same) money, aren't we left aside?
    (What's wrong with being left aside? Hm. Of course, this modernist idea can come in handy. But I've been writing about it elsewhere.)
    Come think of it - would we feel it wrong for a rich person to buy an expensive car? A big house? So why do we want him to feel guilty for spending the money into something we might actually appreciate? It turns art into a hobby, you say? So what?

    Below, completely unrelated (at least not that I know), is the work of Paulo Ventura.

Transparent games continued

Labels:





    Now that there is no essence, we ask: how is it to see through you? What sort of filter are you?
    Now that there is no common subject, no us, we say: what is this sum of subject and object?
    Now that the body is not enough, and that it stops us as ridiculously as ever, we say: what is so common about this object? What is it about it that is so transparent, and what does this absence, this oppressive absence, taste like when accepted?

    The paintings are by Johan Schaefer, the photos - Khristian Mendoza.    Source URL: https://tattoosnyong.blogspot.com/2009/08/

After the Party

Labels:

,


    The duporet bujany (translating as something like "ass-rocker") was found at poor design. Poor is the author of several clever designs, the most known being the "peg" pendrive. The design is funny, unfortunately as the owner of one such peg I am less enthusiastic about its practicality.
    I prefer when he creates poor objects in all honesty - like this "uncovering lamp".
    Plexiglas object which gives no light but at least it does not shut off light either. Additionally, it can serve as a stand for a classical lamp with a clamp changing it in a traditional bedside lamp.



    Or take this spike:
