is now about to start Big Brother 12 and every time I hear the announcement of the (New?) edition of experiment program inevitably the same malaise that when a leaf through the catalog (New?) exposure, program or art award: "Again the same ?"... But nobody realizes that and they just want the contestants to earn money and take the pull?, If you know what's going on, and he knows all, you know what to do for (successful?) ... more more and more of the same, again and again.
The same is happening with art: more, more and more of the same, again and again.
Many of today's artists have already learned the formula, and not risk the same thing repeated exposures are no longer excited, and do not engage, and do nothing.
remember a student in class said: "I want to win money with what I do", and yes, now exhibiting in a gallery, and winning prizes and scholarships. This is not even two years ago, so something is happening, something goes wrong does the system?, are the artists? ...
Art has just become a way of making money.
Art has ceased to be something exciting that raises questions, which breaks down the spirits shaken.
Where are the artists involved wanted to change things? ... and only art is hung on a nail, to decorate a wall, meaningless art. (Of course, with a great catalog with a foreword bombastic and full of metaphors about life and death if they might not understand and an appointment to the history of art).
The same when they leave the gallery you forget forever.
There is a tremendous fear among artists not to enter into "the circuit", sacrificing creativity and marketability. Since when are artists who have to conform to the formats that sell the galleries?, Are not galleries that must find ways to adapt to the artists and the new proposals, "we are in a peculiar historical moment in which artists are those who seek to galleries (more than one has commented directly pulling away books because they are saturated) and those who make Tourné for the holidays and openings cultivating strategic relationships, because that's the only way to get somewhere. (Today the art would be lost for example, Cezanne, quasi-hermit hiding in his study that he did not like or to be touched.)
more grace I still hear that "so and so" is good because it is the "trend" as if it was not just the artist's work outside the box (which you ask Picasso).
A new edition of Big Brother reminds me to do something, we can not impervious to attend another edition of same and eat the sandwich without getting up to write, even a letter to the editor ...
