“Why MFA Critiques Are Futile Exercises” by Brad Troemel
new essay from Brad now up at DIS magazine
“The underlying problem with MFA critiques is that they are the byproduct of MFA programs that are proposing to do two contradictory things at once: be a space for radical experimentation and honest dialogue, while also being a launch pad for the successful careers of artists who will go on to make consistent work. Risk taking is at odds with consistency. Honesty is at odds with career professionalism. Unfortunately, these oppositions make the odds set against MFA group critiques being anything but self-defeating.”
The same could really be said of art school in general, honestly.
From part two of David Solomon’s excellent series ‘Another US Road Trip’, ongoing at strange.rs
(Check out part one here).
It’s not exciting because there are stupid guys that ignore that, trying to figure out how to create real colors. They say, ‘If you use this digital camera, you can take a clear picture in the dark’. The dark should stay dark. You can’t really see that much, and you don’t really want to see that much anyway.”
