    • Barry Thomas Making art isn't the issue... The world has too much junk anyway..

      The key is valuing it's purpose.
    • Wells Tao perpetuating capitalism' shit Barry. For all your effort, in my book that's all you've done.
  • Wells Tao not just you, of course.
  • Jarad Bryant It may be that value is priceless and has no conception of finance.

  • Jody Branson yes - music
    • Wells Tao but you just did a kids album no? It looked pretty good, 'success' orientated.
  • Jody Branson Wells Tao - that took 4 years to get around to completing. i gave up many times, then forced myself to finish it, for the sake of my daughter [as a testament of my love for her]. It was an extremely mentally painful project to complete - due to lack of desire from the pain caused by lack of success
  • Wells Tao Jody Branson whoa, I know that pain. fucking sucks
  • Wells Tao caught between practice that exists and an audience that doesn't
  • Jody Branson Wells Tao - it's so crippling. and takes all the joy out of the thing that's supposed to be the thing that gives us the most joy
  • Wells Tao Jody Branson yes. If I may, what we have in common if I refer to your earlier work, and perhaps a general nature about ur self, is the intellectual criticism your work delivers to a leadership culture determined to be thick and defensive.
  • Wells Tao when what we are representing, articulating, are 'tips of cultural icebergs' that are being actively repressed and denied in a society. Where those keeping us out personally benefit from doing so.
  • Wells Tao I mean of course my work can also just suck. But I'm speaking just generally about what I see looking around. There's this going on.
  • Wells Tao I make the point that those paid to be critics and societies conscience, University employees, don't do this. Prop up capitalism and its perks, then promote the idea that criticism is shit, too hard and not really needed. Convenient eh
    • Jody Branson Wells Tao - agreed. there's no incentive for the industry to have me be popular, as essentially, the deeper message in most of my ideas is self empowerment, and the destruction of the pyramid.
    • Wells Tao Jody Branson there it is. Democratic art in a democracy hunted down by delusional capitalists as good practice. I get a lot of that, right here.





  • Timothy McMullen Define "art".
  • Wells Tao Art is the appearance of something and the economics behind it.
  • Wells Tao you have to quote me on that one.
  • Jarad Bryant Art is simply a hormonal biological process like most human endeavours and experiences.

  • Wells Tao Jarad Bryant my def. seems better to me

  • Chloe Ann King If wasn't lack of interest for me but more lack of time and the space to make art. I ended up also landing alot of paid writing work which was easier to understand take and got my message out alot quicker. But I wonna go back into making art again, and I'm developing an idea for a show.
    • Wells Tao please bring your economics into it some how.
  • Wells Tao that would be fascinating
  • Wells Tao and, I think, a great hook
  • Wells Tao the idea of 'going back into making art' sounds like a horror story to me, when you are already ahead of it, why would you go back! it's the art you are already making that just needs a bit of perspective, a reframe.
  • Chloe Ann King I'm not making art atm hence going back into it, that doesn't feel or sound like a horror story personally for me.
  • Wells Tao Chloe Ann King , the idea of 'going back'... do you catch my drift? as if it was not already what you were really doing, and but the fantasy of this 'else' is so strong.. you have to go 'back to it'... sorry I'm just reading my own projection into this!
