The What is Art? Blog: What is Art? Price, Venue, and Meaning
http://antiartblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/price-venue-and-meaning.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Price, Venue, and Meaning. Don't for one minute think that price and venue don't influence meaning. Case and point: I hand you a plain piece of paper with my signature in the bottom right corner and I tell you that you can have it for 5 cents - a little more than material cost. Paper with signature. Neat. Why is this worth 100,000 dollars? Surely there is something more to it! Finally, someone had the nerve. "I get it.". This really represented our time.

In the following post I describe my experience with the color red. Please share your art experiences in the comments below. The perfect red peered through rebar lines of gray. Monday, July 18, 2011.

Sunday, May 22, 2011. Painting Without the End in Mind. In defining and exposing the elements of beauty, try this: paint backwards. That is to say, paint uninhibited without the end in mind. And when the work is complete, you will simply know. The piece of art will feel familiar, in place, and of great, almost historical, importance - like it has always been. The color green and white erupt in a yellow-red war. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The What is Art? Blog: The Death of Realism? Photos, Prints, Projectors, and More.
http://antiartblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/death-of-realism-photos-prints.html
Tuesday, September 13, 2011. The Death of Realism? Photos, Prints, Projectors, and More. In a previous post, I wrote about the novelty of realism. How appreciating the ability of an artist to produce something realistic was akin to the joy we feel when we see the world's tallest man, largest piece of gum, or other gimmicky equivalent. What value is the visual medium really adding? More to come in another post. For now: agree? Discuss in the comments below. Labels: art is dead.

The What is Art? Blog: Anti-Art Films: Just as Much Fun as the Real Thing
http://antiartblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/anti-art-films-just-as-much-fun-as-real.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. Anti-Art Films: Just as Much Fun as the Real Thing. Art films - why do we so quickly call them art while we so quickly call those in our local theaters trash? To be honest, I am seldom moved by a film I see at the local museum or gallery. Perhaps it is because I am preonditioned by the walls of paintings to have the attention span of a gold fish or perhaps it is simply because I don't want to watch someone push an ice block around a city street while a man bangs a gong.

The What is Art? Blog: What is Art? The Novelty of Realism
http://antiartblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/on-realism.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. The Novelty of Realism. In painting, realism turns the talent of the artist into nothing more than a novelty act of duplication, instilling a sense within the onlooker to compare the piece against its true form and make a judgement on the. Of the copy to something imaginably real. If close, the onlooker lets out a jubilant "hoo-haw," taking notice of the amazing ability of the artist to manisfest him- or herself as a flesh-and-blood Xerox machine. But what about the.
