although i had already assumed that i didn’t get my installation proposal accepted to the conversions show, i just got the damming email that confirms it all.
i think the phrase is something about the hazards of loading up all your eggs into just one basket… i was using this possible show as an excuse for the art work that i have not been doing lately… i was telling myself and others that i was just waiting to hear if i would have to start mass producing work. it was kind of true, but rejection colors it as the weak excuse that it already was…
the proper thing to do now would be to make my installation proposal a reality anyway… who cares if some gallery in virginia doesn’t want it, this was an idea that i wanted to see through. perhaps a quote from an interview w/ christo & jeanne-claude will eloquently illustrate who artwork is really made for…
“We want to create works of art of joy and beauty, which we will build because we believe it will be beautiful. The only way to see it is to build it. Like every artist, every true artist, we create them for us.”
