Art Project / Protest

Mon Oct 19, 2009, 10:25 PM
I have an idea for an Art Project.

Its a protest to an Art World that puts a piece of paper in higher regard than pure talent.

The obstacles are:

- Finding the correct individuals.**

- Getting permission to photograph the individuals.

- Finding a willing Art Gallery that will exhibit the works.

(there's probably way more)

** I have this funny feeling that if i go through with this, i will have to target people who have degrees but are shit at what they do.*** (My former teacher Melita Dahl fits in perfectly, but i doubt the ice queen will let me take a photo of her.)

The protest is also for: <(might have to be separate)>

- The younger Artists that produce works of brilliance and are ignored (by galleries) because they are young.

- The younger Artists who are not in a financial situation to support themselves through higher education - therefore cannot obtain a degree to be taken seriously by galleries.

- And for those who do not have the mental capacity to undertake strenuous education. Although they produce artworks of brilliance - Therefore are unable to obtain a degree to be taken seriously by galleries.

***NEED YOUR THOUGHTS***

thats why im putting it on here. i need different perspectives, coz i feel mine may be too narrow. so yeah. lemme know

hey im a first year Photomedia student at ANU. its pretty cool considering two years ago i was a mind fucked mess lol and i couldnt see a way out of my old home. But now i'm freeeeeeeeee! totally rocks being away from my old home and being in a new place with this massive anonymity that living in a city provides. the people here are awesome too, especially in my Photomedia class. I hate the teacher i have on thursdays, shes a shit teacher and a bitch. the one i have on fridays Shits all over the other one lol, so i like her - she's alright for a kiwi lol jk.

the gear im working with is a D40 - at least, every image on here so far, has been with a Nikon D40.

i have since become a proud parent of a bouncing baby Nikon D300. Whom i love very much and care for greatly. unfortunately i only have the D40 kit lens for it so im hoping to get an 18-200mm lens some time soon. :D me is happy. just wait till i start with the D300 lol i cant wait!!! so happy!!!

I can't see myself holding on for much longer
It's tearing me apart
I feel so out of place from the rest of you
All I needed was something
And that something was you
But you're so far away now
Can you hear me screaming?
