The Aging Age of Contemporary Art
Monday, October 26th, 2009Toast to the post-digital era that we are propelling into, no longer a trajectory, the superfuture is here, the everpresent is slipping by, by the buckets.
We now give way to brilliance in subtlety, mastery in silence, with worthy works gaining collective weight of approval by those who seek to define craft (to begin with).
He wakes up realizing that he needs to learn to paint, now that he can afford the highest quality of oil.
We understand.
That is how the economy works, art in future (soon to be the present) will sell at record breaking prices bid by artists themselves. Artists after all are the new CEOs.
Creative directors confront the superfluous definition of their designation, a percentage will enroll back into school.
As more present non-artists acquire social ties/rub shoulders with established artists, it will no longer be the issue of ‘whose work is that on the wall’,
instead
‘that work on the floor is so rare and obscure, that the less you know the smarter I look.’
We understand.
