I would like to understand your comment. Do you hate to be told to watch any program, or is the content of this program on the messages artists craft into their pieces what you hate? Or is it something else? I ask because at 60 years old, I still do not like to be told that I HAVE to do something. Plus, I would hope you could give this program in particular a chance simply because we are all artists of sorts, and we all have the right and ability to create meaningful lives.
i found the glass pieces very overwraught, boring and that segment went on too long. I kept watching wondering what the fuss was. Turns out, there is no fuss. Just overworked, self-important pieces.
Thank you! I think the same thing; it is a classic example of "The Emperors New Clothes." I worked for decades in art related fields (from art supply to art museums), and I learned that the one ability that is vital to an art career is self promotion; ite one thing to have self-confidence, but what is needed is what Quentin Crisp called "the monstrous ego", which is self-confidence expanded to the point of intoxication. Add that the ability to convince others (the " right" others) that your work is important and, with luck, smoozing and politicing, you might stand a chance as succeeding. Of course, while the field of art is one of the most obvious examples, this applies to life in general; be you small town boy wanting to be a famous rock star, or a young woman starting a political career, or a wanna be movie star, or someone who wants to open a small pastry shop. I enjoy most of "Craft in America's" videos. The glass segment was the first to make me wonder if society has tipped over into "preciousness" (in its negative connotations) that is bordering on decadence. But, with all that vitriol spilled, I must also say that, if the artist truly feels what, for the lack of a better way of phrasing it, a true vocation, if her art gives her life meaning, then, well it is her life. That's one of the hardest things about life, to find a reason, not just to live, but to make us want to live.
