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

  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: Engel - Rammstein
  • Drinking: Air

Ok this needs an update. I dropped out of uni coz im duuuu....umb? lol, wasnt for me, im solely a digital photographer, all they did this year was analogue and of course they only did analogue this year because the teacher that was supposed to be teaching us digital was a shit teacher - not to mention a bullying ice queen - so yeah, now im trying to get work as a Portrait photographer, or basically any kind of photography, i dont really care.

I'm currently working with whats freely available to me i.e. nature (eg: Sunsets, Horizons, Skyscapes, Flowers, Bugs), but no longer myself as those ones are kinda immature now.

My business name is nomad Photography (lower case 'n' is intentional), i have a facebook fan page for my images on Facebook:

But am in desperate need to pull my finger out to get a hard copy portfolio together.

I am working with a Nikon D300 and Nikkor 18-55mm kit lens(D40 - non-VR (yes, the cheap crap one)) and am soon to upgrade to either a Nikkor 18-200mm VR II lens or a Tamron 18-270mm VC II lens. Still trying to decide - currently its weighing more towards the Nikkor, so yeah.

And also working with Adobe Photoshop CS4 as of maybe August 2009. CS3 prior to that approximate date.

If you would like to give me a Premium Membership - DONT - because i hardly ever use this account now, i basically come online every few days to check out new Deviations and maybe socialize a bit if i can be buggered lol.

So yeah, thats about it. Update complete. Buenos Noches!

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?
