The Esteemed Saboteur Reggie Baylor Hosts An Evening At The Scallops HotelThe moment you receive funding for art, you've sold outThe moment you're paid to associate yourself to art, you're sold out The moment you sell one painting, you sell out So why not just multiply that as many times as you possibly can And then be able to continue to do the thing that you're so passionate about your entire life, continuously and consistently This is how it really, really started The professor in the philosophy class put this line on the chalkboard And then began to explain that the line is what we use to create everything Mankind uses this for science, mankind uses this for chemistry We use this for architectural purposes, we use it for engineering We use it for computers, we use it for storytelling, filmmaking It is what man uses to make any object Well then I start thinking, well, if that's the case, then in a line there are points from one line to the next How do you get from one point to the next Linear thinking And if I want to be an artist, what do I need to do to go from one point to the next Now if I have- how many options do I have when I'm going to point AB Just so you know imma interrupt you This is all up here, it's not gonna sound- it's not gonna make any sense to you at all None at all Remember I'm an artist, but I'm talking about logic From point A to point B the professor clearly stated that there are an infinite amount of points between two points An infinite And I started to say to myself well if there's an infinite amount of points, what if I just found one for myself So if the possibilities are infinite, there's no big issue here, it's not that difficult You just have to find one in infinity Second question, my senior year in, um, sculpture class something similar to this I was given twenty minutes- every student was given twenty minutes to give an oral presentation from this question What is good art Well, you know, I'm a senior and I'm thinking to myself well, uh, you know, I've spent four years I get a lot of- I got a lot of As, I was very studious I was doing good artwork This is an easy question Well what happened was all the presentations prior to mine I then started to argue It was a constant argument The person would say this- case in point, um, which was my favorite, good art means it is consistently aesthetically relevant And that one really got me, so you know what I think that's what good art really could be But then I started to say, well what if it was consistently inconsistently aesthetically relevant So that an artist then would do a hundred paintings and none of them looked alike, wouldn't that inconsistency necessarily mean that is now good So consistent or inconsistent good art could exist |
