RE: First Fridays are going strong
1) I will try to back up my critiques better in the future. I don't think it will cause people to be less reactionary, but at least they know where I come from.
2) I will think about things more outside of my personal taste. But it is a review and untilmately comes down to the reviewer's personal taste.
3) I will not begin and end every review with IMHO (in my humble opinion). It's a given.
4) The "Bad Art Movement" I mentioned was in reference to the actual movement in art from the mid-20th century. It was a label a group of non-technically skilled artists gave themselves.
5) I don't feel pricing has to do with whether something is fine art or not. I don't care about that label. If it's hanging on a canvass at an art show, it can be judged on the same level as any other work in a gallery, regardless of where it's "meant" to be displayed (street, etc.).
6) I don't evaluate things on a "local" level. It's got to stand up to the big dogs...
I appreciate eveybody's comments. I've only been "reviewing" things for a few weeks, so maybe I'm still learning the best way to state a view. I appreciate the comments to help me improove. Most of the discussion in this post has actually been pretty good.
Peace.
