Time and time again you hear certain words in the art school environment being used to describe a piece of work or their own practice in this attempt to use the right words to make it sound like art and that you have some vague conceptual knowledge.
Art school has been described to me as a “gateway into everything I was interested in getting into” or “a series of does and don’t to help you be an artist”. Apparently there is no right or wrong or good or bad within art Duchamp expressed that “good and bad should only be reserved for taste and not art” I wonder if there is right flash words or flash reference that if included means a piece of art work could be considered as good? If not good have some sort of integrity?
In freeze a couple of months ago I read on the inside couple of pages a what’s hot and what’s not, with a what’s stable list of things to reference in your contemporary art practice. Things like Ballard (obviously) staying stable, utopia being not hot and dystopia being hot. This flash list which you pulled out of your wallet just incase you ran out of things that might make you seem you knew what you were on about while in some private view or is it a list to get you through a Fine art degree, I’ve certainly heard of all this things when we critically analyse peoples work?
two things that shouldn’t exist are: bubbles in vinyl signs and wonky posters / vinyl signs
I’ve been contemplating all day in my sofa ridden state. Notting Hill has been my film of choice it makes it worrying that i actually like Ronan Keating’s- when you say nothing at all in which was played twice the best, yes i used the word best in this context, time being in the park when Julia Roberts asks Hugh Grant to come sit next to him on the park bench under the moonlight, what’s more to like? i’ve always liked a whimsical love story where they get together then something happens ,sad times, but in the end love prevails and they are forever happy. i think i like it when it happens to the man more than a women because it’ less of a cliche or maybe both are a cliche now, or maybe it’s just i can relate to the male figure more and for the 124 minutes that i’m watching the film i go “yes that could be me” with my favourite quote being “men go to bed dreaming and wake up in reality”. On another topic from the romantic embrace i’ve always been interested in what it is to be a hero, i think it would be put forward a hero is something morally like risking your life for others but i’m talking about the everyday hero. Is romance apart of being a hero or am i getting confused with romanticising, romanticising a heroic ego or a tragic romantic. romance romance romance.
So heroism is it the same as a hero? well apparently not the first hit on google is Heroism- spell – world of warcraft in which Increases melee, ranged, and spell casting speed by 30% for all party and raid members. Lasts 40 sec.Allies receiving this effect will become Exhausted.
