Particular, particular -
The only surviving statement of Rembrandt is: 'I have
painted nothing but portraits.' Think about it: that
applies to every part of his paintings - the cat in
the corner, the doorjamb. I hope the same is true of
my work. Particular, particular - generalisation is
always the enemy of art."

Re: Re: Re: Re: we like the moon
Sorry, Mark, if I came over as po faced & somewaht
humourless -I didn't mean to.
I do think its funny -and I do think people shouldn't
fear posting light and amusing stuff here -one of
Rhizome's charms is the breadth of stuff posted.
I was making a perhaps rather pedantic, but in my view
none the less important, point about whether it
constitues art or not.
This is not only a theoretical but a practical issue
for me -I taught a kind of "introduction to net.art"
course to some 2nd year undergraduates this last year,
most of them hadn't even thought of the idea that you
*could* do art on the net ( it was a traditional art &
design course with previously very little digital
stuff on it) and many of them got really stuck on
rathergood.com - I wanted them to look further and
broader and at the start I had to argue quite hard
that there was more to it than admittedly deft and
amusing animations.

<More net art along the same lines>
Sure rathergood.com is funny, but art! -give me a
break -it's light entertainment, as is the Guthrie
parody which is mildly amusing but totally anodyne.

Re: Re: ANTIGRAFFITIHIPHOP exhibition documentation
hmm -it's curious isn't it? A little voice says that
it must be some kind of curious conceptualist double
bluff but I fear it's serious.
Not that their aren't tiny *elements* of truth there
but the whole thing has a frighteningly neighbourhood
watchish-moral majority-crazy staring bug eyed-
invading your personal space intensity about it.
Here in the UK "bad neighbour" legislation is being
threatened against people who don't keep their gardens
neat and tidy . It's a bit rich to make graffitists
the scapegoats whilst merrily ignoring urban
destruction and pollution brought about by the ravages
of untramelled corporate power ( and also here in the
UK, I can't speak for the States, the closing down in
waves of cutbacks of many of the facilities which were
formerly available for young people in the most
deprived areas.)
