This is a simple yet effective description of the unmediated art experience. At the end of the day, art is about standing-in-front-of, and experiencing, THINGS.

Thanks for the story,. I love Serra's work, but I'm glad this piece was never built. For artists of his generation, the thoughts/feelings of the Hoi polloi were of little regard. A space was their stage, dam the little people

Hard to say, but the likelihood is that they were. Most 'blue chip' artists employ technicians that travel around the world to install and repair their work. This may be mediated through their dealer. I mention repair as a lot of

Well, that's the fulcrum isn't it? The moment when counterculture become mainstream. It is also the moment when acid become after-shave.

There is a clear difference between the dangers incurred by an artist (e.g. an artist using toxic pigments) and an artist endangering their employees (models, assistants, etc). Similarly, there is a difference between the dangers incurred b

Woops. My bad. However, I believe the details I raise remain generally valid.

No one here has talked about the number of lives that Serra's work has claimed/ruined. So far: one death and two serious injuries. Details here: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/shortcuts/2018&#x2

I agree that too much art commentary is made without actually seeing the goddam artwork. As an art student I was guilty of this. I remember being very contemptuous of Edward Kienholz's work. These installation pieces looked very cheesy

So... Derek Jarman had a studio in one of the old warehouses alongside the thames before it became the yupified, soulless nonsence it is now. I was an artist but also modelled frequently for other artists and art schools (not unusual for a

I think I was an extra on that movie. I say 'think' and Derik never told me what movie he was shooting. Good times.

I have heard the same thing (wrongly) said of Van Gogh, whose poor mental condition towards the end of his life was almost certainly caused by syphilis. This is not to underplay the impact of poisonous paints: the entire cadmium range (cadm

Maybe it is your particular needs, but so far I have been very impressed by the Affinity suite. I render from Blender in open exr, place in an AP document which I then place in a AP document. When I update the render, the whole pipeline is

I see now that I should have made myself more clear. slides made in InDesign are indeed a stated requirment. Why.... I teach Design. One of the key learning outcomes of most design courses is the ability to handle long documents through the

I confess I have never used Canva myself. However, every pdf that students send our way from Canva is basically just series of flattened images. This also applies to the many Canva derived pdfs which I see from job applicants. So... What is

Exactly: large files, ugly slides (I teach design) and impossible to select text. The template driven nature on Canva also makes it really hard for them to learn multi page layouts and structured documentation. The one thing in its favour i

What could they do better? I am interested.

This is bad news. The Affinity offers a genuine and very high class alternative to the Adobe suite. Its HDRI workflow is league ahead of anything else. As for Canva, all I can say is that I downgrade any student who makes their research sli

Nicely expressed. Thank you.

Would you like to expand on this a bit?

So… does this imply that our perception is template-driven?

It's interesting how the distortions are confined to the narrow triangle that is the face. The remainder of the head is undistorted. From my experience with portrait painting I can say that the quality of our responce to this region is

> Without getting into the philosophy of open source vs proprietary and the like, but just as someone who very occasionally needs to edit video on Linux, how does Kdenlive compare to something like Lightworks or the Blender video editor?

That is so utterly insane. Criminal! I guess that they were motivated by the ease with which the text could be translated into another language... but still criminal.

For an example of comic lettering 'in extremis', look at Charles Crumb (who was the big brother of the famous underground comic artist Robert Crumb). He obsessively drew the story of Treasure Island with a particular emphasis on l

I don't think it is a issue of 'identifying with their body' rather than a situation where the body and the self inform each other. The ancient temperamental model assumed that the human body is a mix of Choleric (fire), Sang
