A dozen artworks please!

After we have sorted out why, on this blog, art is served up by the dozen (see: “Interpretations, with no excuses”) the time has come to welcome you (and ourselves) to the teeming cyberspace.  And the time has come to present a “chart” of points of view, which will direct us on our way. The beginning is all about people

“Hey, that’s news!” you might say

You can tell me, nobody will ‘get’ the irony and so it will lead on to: As the beginning is about people and people are subjects; so the choice of the dozen artworks which follow will have subjective criteria.

The same with the themes and the material which will be posted on the blog

Over the past 30 years or so there has been a big effort to abolish subjectivity. Firstly in the work arena and then in all other areas, dialogue occurs not with those who want or have something to say, but with the ‘specialists’, with those who have been ‘authorised‘  to speak. And all those who are ‘authorised’ are specialists, that is to say they are knowledgeable about one very specific way of seeing things.

To promote and direct the vision in the name of objectivity.

Our good lady objectivity is a very helpful lady and has room for all of us.

Objectivity is self-explanatory.

It is the point which stops every discussion, and the call is not negotiable

It is the total argument, the end of thought.

It is the ritual of the religion called science

And if objective criticism and objective conclusions are necessary to fly aeroplanes and build houses, they are not necessary for gratification.

 Thus, this blog won’t be concerned with objectivity, or with dozens of artworks, or with the dozens of postings which will follow.

We prefer the coexistence of both subjective and the objective criticisms.

Art is the appetite and adozenofart, the apple pie!
