.....

struggling to make my works for this semester has really made me resent the idea concept of insitutional critique. I never though it would directly affect me, because thinking about my art in terms of the future just scares me to death. But in regards to art making, which funnily enough before i came to art school, i though was a spontaneous action, and expression, has now turned into this regimented open discussion of my work and others. I began art school bright eyed and very cross disciplinary, until i got sorted into my section and isolated from the rest of the pack. now ive begun to dislike the idea of the art institution, knowing full well that we're going to be trying to be friends for a while, and this upsets me. The fact that if no one sees my art, it may not be art distrubs me greatly. I make art for myself and weather i destroy it or send it to the MCA when im done really doesn't make a fucking difference.
what happened to love and creation? maybe i was a 60's child born to late.
"institutional critique emerged as a genre. "- MIT press website.
Why are we still held back by it then in the 21st century. fuck the white cube.
