(wow what a last name)
Well since every rule begins with "I am for" I assume this is for artists that display their art in public, which is almost everyone- unless your a closet artist. Only one rule that I dont agree with. " Rule number 8: I am for public art that doesnt pretend that everyone's story is instristically interesting to everyone else." Every artist that I look at I try to identify with them- like for instance with let's say Andy Warhol- without knowing anything about him I would say that he grew up in an urban city- tried to fit in, but couldn't and always wanted to be famous, loved the concept of identifying with the mainstream America. I find everyone's story interesting that is what makes people so interesting.
But I did identify with the quote that I want to put on my ceiling is that "I am for public art that believes with all sincerity that risk is a permanent condition." I feel that I dont but risk in a lot of my work. Well you know I take that back- with my Identity Project I put illegal drugs on the internet, and me "doing" them. For my time piece I went to private party- actually government property it was behind a school in broad daylight and dug hole (which is defacing private property). If I have an idea thats illegal, ill still do it. But does that define risk? I dont believe so, Risk is the chance of injury or loss; a hazard or dangerous chance. Risk in art is doing what you want without caring about what other people think- doing what you want- even if it disgusts, injures (like Arnaldo Morales' work), or upsets the viewer.
