> Parks on Fire is the latest short graphic film creation of digital artist Scott Pagano. It is an exploration of the complex, interpenetrated, and reflective relationships of structure, form, and motion that both bind and conflict the natural and manmade worlds.
You know, I like art.
...but why, oh why, do artists have to lard everything they do with these absolutely idiotic, content-free "artist's statements" ?
They just make me think "this person is either an idiot, or has so little self respect that he knows better but nonetheless cranks out one of these piles of words just because it's expected of him".
- menloparkbum 18y agoI'm an artist and I work with many artists on the technical portions of their work. The artist statement is something learned in art school and is generally required if you want to get a grant, or show up in a magazine, or be in a museum or big gallery show. They are largely nonsense. Personally, I love them because they incite pretentious art goofs to ridiculously pontificate, and they send the boring practical sorts into a frustrated rage.
