i was just joking. but i agree with what you said.

i think i will be attending the school that i started at my house. because it is the only place that i see good paintings.

i think in my case, it is all subjective. as subjective as all the grad schools are out there. fame and financial success are secondary to me. i personally think that picking out a certain galleries from ny and see where these artists are coming from as the a gauging device is very inadequate and shot sighted ( don't get me wrong, i for once was also delusional enough to apply to these schools based on their fame and such. it is not a personal attack at all. i just want to point out the fact that the whole 'art schools feeding the art world' (vice versa) is so arbitrary and perhaps heavily money oriented.) so to me what is good is what i think is good. does this answer your question? ( and yours too?)

i feel the same way. i applied to that program for 3 straight years and always got rejected. i did went to the open house two year ago and it is very questionable the way they choose people. you might think it is highly conceptually oriented but it wasn't. there were 1 or 2 representational painters that years that could not be more conservative than the stuff you see from western art magazine. i understand how inadequate it is to judge the quality of the work based on a studio visit day but one can't help to be wondering where the line is drawn- it is in fact all random. it is extremely unfair but honestly that's the way the world is. i am not happy that they don't respect my work but at the same time it seriously motivates me. i think at the end, good work stands out regardless of where you go to school at ( i know everyone knows it, but i just have to say it)

anna i think i might have met you in cranbrook. have you decided where to go yet?

cars i might have met you that day. did they get back to you yet?
