Vision for L4T

Written by Tyson Crosbie December 12, 2008

Commercial VS Fine Art

Why I personally feel there needs to be a separation between the disciplines. It really boils down to how I can shape the message for each market. Ideally it would be the same message, practically there is very little overlap.

Also my vision for the lying to tell the truth project.

  • "Access to an audience without a gatekeeper anymore." That's the great thing about the web and videoblogging. Your audience is free to find you.

    I don't enjoy going to galleries. You may gasp (probably not), but it's true. A First Friday type experience is awful for me. So many people seem to be there to be seen, look cool, and give the impression that they're "artsy." I want to be able to look at work without those people jostling me. I want to have a real conversation with the artist whose work I like that isn't utterly fragmented by all the other voices wanting the same thing.

    I like this. I can look at your work as long as I want. I can listen to you and talk back. Thanks for that.
  • Interesting episode--I especially liked your comment about the gallery system (I'm not quite sure how to interpret your vocal inflection when you mention it).

    Do you think that the internet and direct access to artists will begin to replace the gallery gatekeeper system in the same way that amazon and other commodity-oriented marketplaces have eaten away at the relevance of the traditional retail system?
  • It is mostly a theory at this point. I know about traditional galleries etc. but no hard experience in the system. I am a rouge artist at this point.. a maverick if you will. ;) I know that my work and my work ethic is at the level that should be included in the system. So I am doing what I can at this point to make it work. I don't know that I would resist the offer from a traditional gallery if it came up, so I can't say I am committed to the "new media" model. I am however convinced that it changes the conversation with access to audience.
