How Creativity is Killing the Culture
Ok this article is semi-interesting, I mean I usually don't read about bumper stickers. I would ram that person in the back just for that bumper stick and say "Boring people must be stopped" I mean seriously what does that guy have against creative people- he's just jealous. Anyway back to the article. Micheal Fallon is stupid to even question this statement. He says " Isn't it the case with all these creatives roaming around we simply dont have enough people left to ingest all the creative soup?" I completely disagree with this statement- artists feed off of other artists- that is what makes the creative world go round. Artists reflect on other artist's work and interpret their own idea for their art. It seems to me that Fallon is just feed up with the art world- I mean it is a dog eat dog kinda place. And there are so many young artists willing to sell their sole to be a famous artist. I do agree with his phrase "Just Create" because honestly that is all a person can do- and hope that people enjoy their work. Everyone isn't going to understand your work or like it, but the contemporary art world is so full of different styles someone is bound to like your work. I think one thing that artists have a problem with is negotiating their work to fill the needs of the public- which is good I guess If you want to sell out- I could understand if you are trying to make a living. I also think it's complete bullshit that rich people go out and buy art that has a name just so they can say they have a blah blah blah. It's just not fair, but I guess the world isn't fair and the only way you can make money is to be famous.
