The rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status and power is probably a normal state of being, it is not? Are not we all fascinated by the power of Mammon, consume us all to become what we feel we could be, must be, must be worth.
"Oh, if only I was smaller, bigger, fatter, thinner, smarter, beast, however, was another family lived in a different city, it is better to parents, teachers, mentors, friends, do not drink, smoke or do drugs was healthier, sexier, more charismatic, had star quality, talent, took the chance when I got it, was more courageous, more livelier, more hungry, could do something, anything, was more, oh, if only ... '
Have we not all measure the success of the money, standing and ability to control? Are we not all live in a post-ideological age in which the free market is the sole arbiter of truth, what is good and evil, never lies, has all the answers? Are we not better to submit to the mantra Gordon Gecko that greed is good?
Over the years I have met, worked with and come in contact with a wide range of individuals, companies and organizations in the arts who are descended from one side or the other, those who believe the Fair - with its flashing lights and loud noises metal - which is Mammon and the other that believes in manufacturing, creating, expressing, playing, developing, sharing and fellowship.
I must admit, I am not without sin, I delivered in fairground attractions. They are fun for a while, and you lose the interest of bored because there is nothing, nothing to scratch, think, think, passionately in. In short there anything under the surface, there is only a cheap copy and a toy percent. On the other, I learned a lot. It is difficult to characterize, quantify and articulate. It can mean different things to different people, it comes in many guises, but its role is universal. He sees art as a means to express, also recognize the love, embolden, harass, commit, thinking, annoy, control, modify, enrich and deepen the culture around it . It does not seek to transform it into an object to sell, trade mark and of rich, do not apply for status or power. He is not interested in side shows its concern is the sharing of a universal experience - he is the antithesis of fair blind artsmongers greedy.
My professional art career has been dotted with many different experiences, but I learned nothing in the fairground. Only by chance encounter individuals and companies who continually seek to improve the question, discuss, debate, develop and by sharing knowledge with each other than I just figured anything either. Those who stay in the fairgrounds just irritate me, they make the most noise, are boring and have nothing to offer, what can give them to Mammon, they are self important naked emperors. But I have not wealth, status and power, but I was fortunate to have had many lessons, ideas, thoughts, methods, processes, knowledge by people who dedicated to their art. A store of experience that I always look back on, continue to learn, look, absorb, store and share precious. It is a hardware store without value, but a priceless treasure that money can buy, a store whose value lies in what it can not give what it takes.
The sin of gluttony has no place in the manufacture art. The exhibition may belong to someone, but the mind does not work.
