Jean-Paul Sartre is sitting at a French cafe, revising his draft of Being and Nothingness. He says to the waitress, "I'd like a cup of coffee, please, with no cream." The waitress replies, "I'm sorry, monsieur, but we're out of cream. How about with no milk?".

what is the relationship between democracy and a strong national cuisine?

Werner Herzog's Rogue Film School

From Werner Herzog's rogue film school:

  • Related, but more practical subjects, will be the art of lockpicking. Traveling on foot. The exhilaration of being shot at unsuccessfully. The athletic side of filmmaking. The creation of your own shooting permits. The neutralization of bureaucracy. Guerrilla tactics. Self reliance.
  • Censorship will be enforced. There will be no talk of shamans, of yoga classes, nutritional values, herbal teas, discovering your Boundaries, and Inner Growth.

how to be even better

  1. You have to be open to constructive criticism (very important).
  2. You have to visit exhibitions extensively.
  3. You have to develop a critical awareness, and get to understand why some pieces work, and some just don't.
  4. To develop consistently, you have be be restless. Don't stand still. Constantly bring in new ideas, influences and imagery.
  5. Be experimental. See the work as one stage, and NOT the final 'product'. Keep it fresh!
  6. Definitely consider further study if you do not have a BA in Fine Art, or even an MA. An MA is often VITAL to your development and the development of your critical faculties - do not try to miss out on vital stages of your education.
  7. Try to absorb influences, so that you do not copy, but you integrate these influences into your practice.
  8. Always BE OPEN, rather than closed.
  9. LET GO! Don't be scared to take risks, but make sure that what you do is not arbitrary but deeply considered. It all has to be underpinned by context and method.
  10. Remember that great art is also an intellectual project.
  11. Know where you fit in: what is your context?
  12. MOST IMPORTANTLY: WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE THAT IS NEW? HOW IS YOUR WORK DIFFERENT?
  13. Why is your work contemporary? Why is the aesthetic contemporary?
  14. Ask yourself honestly: does your work get independently curated into exhibitions, or is it always through friends and contacts? Is your old work accumulating in your home or studio? If so, why? Is it because it is 'difficult' or is it just because it's really not that great and nobody will every really notice it.

“We started picking them before they could ripen. A certain crucial growing period was lost, as marketing evolved and the mechanisms of recommodification became quicker, more rapacious. Authentic subcultures required backwaters, and time, and there are no more backwaters…” [William Gibson, All Tomorrow's Parties]
