Re: Oro Bourous, Outsider Net.Artist
There is ALWAYS SOMETHING to do LIKE complain about the way the art
system works. I have never allowed my work to enter into the process of
the art world because I AM CONTENT from looking in on the outside. This
is why I don't bother to try- and why I dedicate my time TO WHINE ABOUT
this system from the outside, and why all my work is molded by my
INABILITY to participate in that art world. That way I have the EXCUSE
to COMPLAIN and do NOTHING, instead of building art. PERIOD. I make my
own rules by SAYING NOBODY LIKES ME, and I define myself by the WAY I
REJECT EVERYBODY ELSE. In fact, I don't even make art, I make excuses.
I do what I want, because what I do is REALLY CRAP."

no they don't. the only reason state funders in this country have to is
due to the 15 year long dismantling of the NEA. they have to justify
funding if they want to get a further reduced pittance the next year.
as to private foundations, there is no real need for them to justify
anything social or philosophical. all they have to do is comply with
the taxation regulations imposed on nonprofits. that's it --no
philosophy, just taxes.
