@KillerkattArt @DegenRolf Your bath, bedroom, hallway, living room, office spaces, public buildings, museums, and monuments require different ‘manners’ of behavior, dress … and art. For the same reasons. And that’s what people do everywhere.

Likewise, people can be taught the basics of art criticism just as they can be taught the basics of fashion criticism, or of literary criticism, or of movie criticism …like any other system of weights and measures.The fact that they don’t know the method doesn’t mean it’s hard.

@KillerkattArt @DegenRolf HERE. I”LL MAKE IT WORSE
Art can EASILY be evaluated by triangulation (ordinal), as can all things not reducible to linear (cardinal) measures. Anything humans value can be evaluated by triangulation.

Most of the time, in art, we are measuring ignorance, as in any other field.

@KillerkattArt @DegenRolf In general terms, art history (if you study it) consists almost entirely in innovation in materials and craftsmanship, that are decorated with innovations in aesthetics (symmetry, plenty, bounty, content), while what is expressed, like archetypes, varies little: ‘more’ something.

How would you test that theory? Especially when europe is a vast open air museum, and the rest of the world is not. I think many forms of expression are harmful and few are beneficial. Is tagging art? Or is it pollution? Is Critique (capital C) art, or is it disinformation?

@curtdoolittle @DegenRolf Don’t you think that elitism tends to generate bad art(and bad society)? It creates unrealistic expectations for the artists and the audience, ripening opportunities for exploitation by the art world to market style as as an objective value.

That’s just saying you don’t know. 😉
It’s fine to be skeptical.
As long as it’s not an attempt to engage in fraud.
Although self-fraud seems to be necessary in the absence of mindfulness.

@curtdoolittle @DegenRolf Lol. Truth is there for the taking. It’s open and freely available. You’ve obviously given a lot of thought to your complex of ideas, but none are convincing enough to ground them. Just another subjective opinion masquerading as “REAL Truth”.

Here is what I was after: is it art (additive) or is it defecating in public for attention (subtractive)? What is the demarcation between additive and subtractive in art?

I know you’re a good person. This is my job, and you just provided me with an opportunity to educate others.

Truth is insular and alienating – that’s why we have it. If it wasn’t we wouldn’t need it.

@curtdoolittle @DegenRolf I don’t mean to knock your style or education. I just feel that if you need to construct a box with predesignated specific language that requires others to get in your box to talk about something then the result is insular and alienating.

It’s not that I’m Anglo, it’s that I’m ELITIST. If Elitism is synonymous with Anglo, Which I think it is, then that’s fine with me. I haven’t seen anything out of the continent that is anything other than simpering Rousseauian want for return of the lies of the church.

@KillerkattArt @DegenRolf Now the next step is to explore the difference between creators who understand their CRAFT as a set of those techniques, for evoking human experience (actors, directors and editors the best current examples). And those who merely fantasize that they’re not self-pleasuring.
