- Which results in masterbatory art exercises that no one gives a damn about except the artist, b/c they have no incentive to inspire anyone. -- nm - TFox Jan 29, 14:46 7
  - That art provoked you, and you remember it, so in a way, it did its job :) -- nm - con_carne Jan 29, 14:53
  - im going to guess that you haven't been to an art museum recently -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 29, 14:49 3
    - plenty, and i have a sister in the arts in NYC studying with people who do varying degrees of exactly what i describe. -- nm - TFox Jan 29, 14:50 2
      - well, for starters, the stuff people get away with in art school is worlds different than what actually comes our once they're in the real world -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 14:51 1
        
        which is kind of the point of any school, really. im sure a lot of shit ideas happen at MIT too. - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 29, 14:54
  - *gives you a $100,000 grant to make human sculptures out of straw* -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 14:47
  - "...stur..." -- nm - TFox Jan 29, 14:46
- I expect artists to be. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 29, 14:42
