I don't think your work qualifies fully as "postart," fortunately (my opinion), as it does indeed resonate with an aesthetic value, something that is heavily downplayed in postart works. The "conversation" you refer to is more of a collapsing of the way critique is executed, from what I'm seeing. I think it's at its low ebb right now.

I am with you on this... and think that I ...Hi Rob,<br />I am with you on this... and think that I too addressed (at least partly) the issue in my last paper (shameless plug: http://www.virtualpigment.com/blog/?page_id=323, "Death by Irony"). Knowing of some other conversations around AIB, and tangentially, PaFA (Bo Barlett is an Alum.), I'm wondering if this is a conversation that's been going on continuously since the beginning of Modernism, or if it is gaining more traction since Art started (de)evolving into meta-Art c. 1970 and onward.<br />Maybe it's nothing new; the work I find most compelling seems in one way or another to reach back to a traditional notion of an artist working to become an accomplished artisan as a means of reaching towards the universal: Hiroshi Sugimoto, Jim Campbell, John Curran, yes Jennie Seville, and even James Turrell. That being said, I'm anxious to see if my current work is actually more "postArt" in your opinion -- a admittedly real, though undesired, possibility at this point.<br />[BTW: Richard Prince and Sherrie Levine can kiss my white a**]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846469594426320958.post-18726031635844790332011-05-07T07:31:45.584-07:002011-05-07T07:31:45.584-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
