Do you understand...

Finishing my degree now - Metals and Jewellery

I am taking alot of printmaking too - the old school types, etching - lithography

I go to same Univ. as E7em5ts...SCAD - Savannah College of Art and Design


Over here everyone goes to college - A college gets Univ. status when it meets ciriculum requirements and aquires a certain percentage of Professors who are Doctorates..Just a little FYI

I heard things are alot different in Europe and that's why you guys turn out alot of really progressive artists..

I'm about to make this thread real heady...

The other day I was at this symposium - and there were 3 artists.

2 were relatively unknown artists who work as college professors, have industry blogs, and write critically for money..
and 1 who didn't go to college but was designing for huge companies and making ridiculous bank..

The title of the symposium was Meaning in Art..and this thing threatened to boil down into a full on fight..


BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT IS...THIS QUESTION

If as an artist, you create say, a generic item that has been proven in the market..

are you actually CREATING a consumer taste for the generic, because you are doing it on such a huge scale that it is now informing - or just providing to a taste that already exists..


I am thinking that they are doing two seperate things..for example..I like Ikea furniture because it is blank - it will go with anything and is not disposable, yet it is, because I wouldn't heitate in throwing it out - yet I have no need to throw it out because it is so easily mutable...

Does that make it worthy of more money - for the designer per say - or did someone just get lucky in landing that particular fast furniture job?

It's a question about easy modern versus say a more personal/subjective item w/meaning that is not mass marketed.

It's just catering to a taste that exists already...I think.

let's say the art is hip-hop...listen to the surface level, generic shit. there's a reason it sells so much & makes mad money - one part of it being it's very basic. very "one way"...similar to the Ikea furniture that goes with everything.

girl, i might be wrong, but i strongly believe you need to put some effort in making sense more than anything in your life, from there all other aspects of your life will improve. the other option is you won't be good even at being good hearted, you might just make a good artist if any talent and that's it.

look at sd5, he's like you and see how desperate he is? why do you think that happens?
