For some of these pieces, I feel like the hard part is going to art school, obtaining notoriety, etc. The art is part of a larger endeavor in which I haven’t invested the necessary work, or experienced the luck to have it pay off. When I see a piece where “I could do that”, part of what I’m feeling is that nobody would care if I did it. From my perspective, it seems like the artist is cashing in on some status they obtained. It makes me think the artist must be really charming at cocktail parties. I’m more interested in art that pushes the boundaries of what a mind can conceive, rather than pushing the boundaries of how little an artist can expend and still have their output celebrated.
