Fine let it die. it has been on it's way out for awhile now. Seriously though. This article brings up a sad point and one of the reasons I'v always hesitated to call myself an artist and force my visions on the world. There are too many, and it is saturated, and who says who is good anymore. I partially agree that all people should have something that energizes them makes them feel necessary and relevant in the world I don't think that all are endowed with the talent and skill to share these inner experiencees thru an art form, but if it makes someone happy or fulfilled to write a bad song or paint a mediocre painting let them, look around, listen i think there is plenty of mediocrity that is celebrated all around us, maybe that's the point....I've felt this way about photography for awhile now too. Everyone is a photographer what makes me any moe better or relevant than anyone else? cause soon i will have a degree that should give me slightly more validity. whatever there are just too many people period unfortunately you can't pick who should be kicked off the island. and if no one made crap what would we laugh at?
Ok so iread the rest of this article, So what do we do how do we stop this march toward pablum in the art world? Fallon offers no solutions only grips which I agree with. This is a problem one I have always considered butnever put into words. Yes Yes Creative People Must Be Destroyed I mean Stopped. But it is not the truely creative people who are at fault, I can't help the brain in my head and what I am driven to do did't used to care if anyone even looked at my work. school has influenced me to show my work is this wrong? Should I change my mjor to Psychology? Help what is a creative person to when surrounded by imposters? Am i an imposter?
