When artists who are not associated with the typical infrastructure get recognition, that becomes a cultural movement.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.
I feel like every artist has an opportunity to create something new and to challenge themselves to reach out to a new crowd.
There's a power in what we hold as artists, and part of that comes with responsibility... to share the human experience and really allow that to be seen.
Artists don't really want to be marginalized. They believe that everybody should be able to appreciate the experience that an artist gives them, an experience that connects us to each other in a deep way.
The works of previous artists have come from their own experiences or insights but haven't given the experience itself. They had set themselves up as a sort of interpreter to the layman... Our interest is in a form where you realize that the media are just perception.
So many artists try to be something that they're not.
Artists are the people that no matter what, pick up the pen, pick up a paintbrush. They take the time to translate what is happening to create something that resonates deeply with the rest of the people that are caught in the middle of their own reality.
A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it's disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.
The truth is, we haven't really figured out yet how artists are going to thrive in modern mass societies. We're all experiments.
I've never understood why artists, who so often condescend to the cliches of their own culture, are so eager to embrace the cliches of cultures they know nothing about.
