There is a sausage-factory thing going on in the art world.... I've learned to stop paying attention to the horse race politics, to the egotastic promotional randomness... and just look at the work itself, stop worrying about the process and people....
I've seen amazing work by artists who, being visual artists, are often almost completely unable to write or speak well... and hey, why the hell should we expect them to write or speak well.... I've learned to often ignore the artists statements and just look at the work!
I've seen mediocre work by artists who can speak and write very well....artists statements more interesting than the work itself sometimes.... too bad their sausage factory is so gleaming and perfect but the product is so mediocre....
