I am really tired of being creative.

Could someone please contact me and tell me what the point of 'Art' is please.

The problems of fragmentation and confusion that exist within more traditional art practices, such as painting and sculpture (in the broadest possible milieu) are mirrored in new art practices. Within these technological and new media categories, diverse concepts and imagery has been lumped together to form a hodgepodge of non-related methodologies and artworks.

What is this direction?

The meshing together of processes, unrelated imagery and the breaking down of barriers cannot be seen as a shortcut to intellectual credibility. The dedicated thought process that goes with the creative procedure should be one of intense reasoning. It is therefore unrealistic to expect the uneducated masses to use the computers prescriptive decision making to create ‘real art’. The birth of Photoshop has enabled everybody to create ‘non-intellectual’ versions of Rauschenberg (and Warhol) – this is not ART.

Suicide might be a viable option in your case.

I think I probably have too much to do in life (I think that is a point) so maybe I have sort of missed the 'bigger picture' (point) really. Not an uncommon position (maybe) in this quick click life.

What'sthe point of Art?

What's the point of this Blog?

What's the point of You?

What's the point of Me?

(At best, I can only answer the latter, and the answer is 'Not much')

Have you nothing better to do in life?

Or is your life without a point?

I wish I could stand on my head.

I'm for any philosophy that fosters creation over stagnation. I can do that standing on my head ...but it takes longer.

I often burn my art and a manifesto that is based on the destruction of art - wait a minute didn't a bunch of Italians do that in the last century? but...

 

There are millions of ‘Art’ viewpoints; some take a position of extreme difficulty or resistance. This position questions everything and is unforgiving. The principal is that artists should look beyond the superficiality of life and expose the core. They should also look at the superficiality of Art and culture and rip and tear at the flesh of its own conception, rejecting Metaphor, Romanticism etc. etc. By implementing such self imposed draconian measures you may be left with a purity of ideas but that leaves little to create or live for.

...pass me that match.
