I made a comment earlier about galleries and art. It set me to thinking this evening. The weed Bob sold me probably helped...
So, bananas taped to walls...
I spoke earlier about Gallery Speak. Gallery Speak is that nonsense gibberish you associate w Art. Its bullshit. But its how an Artist is expected to present themselves and thier Art within the gallery world. But I dont want to talk about that. Its the piece of the Art business I despise. But it exists and whats a man to do about it?
Theres another thing. Called Studio Speak. Studio Speak is actual Art. Studio Speak is where Artists talk to other Artists. About all things Art. It might be how a drawing or painting is made. The vehicles and media, brushes. Sculptural techniques.The actual physical 'stuff'.
And ideas.
Ideas themselves are Art.
Cubism is an idea. Surrealism is an idea.
Once youve entered the world of Art, you...absolutley Must reject rules. If youre imposing a rule youre limiting your vocabulary. Its like telling a commedian theres a joke he Cant tell.
And this is why, as much as you may hate it. A banana duct taped to a wall, is in fact Art.
