You don't always have to show art in what's called a white box; you can have a kind of complexity within an exhibit which actually respects the art as well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that an art exhibition can be engaging, fun and deeply intellectually satisfying and serious. These are not contradictory concepts in art.
When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
In many museums, you see one of this and one of that. You gain an understanding of what Abstract Expressionism or Minimalism is, but you aren't given the chance to appreciate the mind of an artist.
There can be nothing exclusive about substantial art. It comes directly out of the heart of the experience of life and thinking about life and living life.
I look at art as a container. You can't get inside it, so you have to ask all of these questions.
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
The value of art is in the observer.
It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stocking a grocery store where people fill a pushcart. Art is a product that has no apparent need. The salesperson builds the need in the mind of the buyer.
I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
