The Forgotten Episodes chapter 2

The Crit
1) "Although Asher has a steady museu career, the real importance of his art lies in the way it has inspired a dynamic oral culture... they demand verbal description." - cleaver

2)"'sorry, i'm doing this badly. i don;t really know why i am here.'" i'm glad i'm not the only one who gets feeling like that.

3)"'like when a two-year-old discovers how to make a tower out of blocks. it is no halfhearted thing. you are materializing-taking something from the inside and putting it out into the world so you can be relieved of it.'" - EXACTLY

4) "' Art Comes out of failure'" Thanks Baldessari, a weight has been lifted off mt shoulders

5)"' they are social occasions that reinforce the norm. They impose a standardized discourse. They privilege unfinished, incompetent art.... If you're not sick don't call the doctor.'" Thank you David Hickey

6) MFA stands for yet another Mother Fucking Artist"- then what does BFA stand for? Bitchy Fucking Arts? because they can't afford grad school but tryin to make it with just a BFA is too hard? Better Fucking Artist? maybe

7)"'the cubists were not simply individual geniuses. Teir greatest works happened in conjunction.Who was Van Gogh's best friend? Gauguin.'" Never thought about it that way, and that's probably why all those styles came out at the same time (DUH) like a wave crashing over the current art scene.

8) ''' Tallent is a double edged sword. What you are given is not really yours. What you work at, what you struggle for, what you have to take command of- that often makes for good art.'"
aint it the truth

9) i like the comparison that she makes at the begining of the chapter about F200 and then at the end " the space no longer feels dry and institutional but complicated and inspired."

10) its a wonder why all these students would come to that long of a crit to barley pay attention. to be on the computer, or sleep for 45 minutes. i mean if you wanted to be there wouldn't you participate and kind of be at the edge of you seat? i guess its kind of like how some people will go to a weekly showing of the rocky horror picture show again and again and again week after week.
