Janine Antoni says . . .

"Follow your Love.
Know what you are good at.
Get help with what you are not good at.
Make decisions that allow you to make work for the rest of your life.
Create an art family.
Be generous.
Help each other.
Give back.
Fantasize about the viewer.
Know yourself.
Challenge yourself.
Don’t be too narrow at the beginning."

"And then I wrote down a few other things:
Don’t get too good at making something.
Work at the edge of your capability.
Take a position.
Make rules and them break them, slowly.
Question every gesture in the making
Surprise yourself.
Pay attention
Stay open."


This was one of the best interviews I've every read:  http://www.artistcareerguide.com/interview.php?id=42

Pretty incredible

this is the best kind of art to me. it's playful and smart and engaging, and it reminds you of how we see the world, and that you're a child. by nami yamamoto

chastity wedge

Chastity Wedge, 1954, cast 1963, Bronze and Plastic, by Marcel Duchamp.

"In the 1950s, Duchamp made a small number of molded objects, based on male and female genitalia. They exemplify his fascination with sexual ambiguity. In this sculpture, the metal ‘wedge’ and the pink plastic slit-form can be seen as expressing male-female, inside-outside dualities in union. Duchamp made the original version in 1954 as a wedding present for his second wife. It is reported that the couple kept it displayed on a bedside table and traveled with it, ‘like a wedding ring’." - Tate display caption

we hardly knew you

Louise Bourgeois by Robert Mapplethorpe

“When a tapestry had to be washed in the river, it took four people to hoist it out and twist it. Twisting is very important for me. When I dreamt of getting rid of the mistress, it was by twisting her neck.”

"I’m afraid of power. It makes me nervous. In real life, I identify with the victim. That’s why I went into art.”
