I admit that I am a complete novice when it comes to understanding art and its history, but I am interested in studying in this subject deeper. faust, i know this is an odd request, but is there any way for me to participate in your class at the beginning of its next cycle, through long distance correspondence? Obviously I cannot attend regular meetings and trips, but even if I can read through the materials and participate in the discourse through submissions of essays and analysis of stuff you guys are going through, it would be greatly appreciated. I cannot seem to find any such avenue to explore the subject here.
Originally posted by Faust View PostI would like to talk about this more, hanajibu. It seems that one of the prerequisites of successful contemporary art is its size. Like for anything that is museum worthy, it has to be fucking humongous, and I can't help think that the artist is trying to impress the viewer with the size of the work, because he can't impress him with the work's substance.
edit: ahh i initially was trying to respond to that one faust post, but realize i've gone off on a different tangent than the current discussion altogether. would a philosophical discussion about the 'value' and perception of art merit a discussion on its own?

I'm not a Prince fan but honestly I enjoyed it way better than the Gursky, just to compare the two. Big prints of tweaked out crowds at Vath's Cocoon Club aren't my cup of tea.
In art-you-should-see news, Zhang Xiaogang at PaceWildenstein on 25th St. And same block, Joan Mitchell's huge sunflower abstracts at Cheim & Read.

gursky. that was a tough show for me because he's basically my art hero, and the new work is really subpar. the beauty of his earlier crowd photos is that everyone was anonymous, they became an abstract landscape, the new photos are too focused, too real, too concrete. also, he really needs to stop putting himself in his pictures.
one more for the shows you should see list: terry winters at mm on 22nd.
