12x8" Digital capture of graphite on 3x3" scrap paper
I once had a mentor who would grouse on about the term 'art projects', as though these were something that had a distinct end and finish. The debate would always return to the idea of process and renewal of ideas in our art world today, where the systematic institutionalization of art and industry has all but made it a business model, savy, distinct, and as multi-leveled as it is that multi-headed hydra of philosophies, politics and economics. The unspoken question in the middle of it all that never failed to be circumvented, yet, was whether art had (or had to have) any value at all, and if so, for whom was it so precious? If the artist, why the audience? And if the audience, why the artist? Are the two distinctly seperate entities of worth and conection? Where does art happen? What and who defines quality, integrity, note-worthy-ness and unrealisation?
