Tutorial with Angela

So I decided to start from scratch this semester, but the idea of using Frankenstein as an allegory of how curator as Dr. Frankenstein collaging all the works of art by artists together, and therefore imposing meaning onto the exhibition, and these artworks will therefore being treated as parts and bits of fleshes from the body of artists.

Angela helps me to clarify several research point that I might want to be careful with in my master project.

•  Be careful with assuming 'why art is good.'
• David Graber's article 'the sadness of post-workerism'

The danger of assuming art is good comes from the modernist idea of art should be a good thing that helps to elevate the public to intellegent level.  But believing art is a good thing is not neccesarily true, also to create wealth (using art to create wealth could be a good thing)

Related reading could be found in Greenberg's writing, also examples from Jeff Koons ( the motive of making art shift from pure art to marketing.)

Remember to justify the assumption and approach.
why I m using this fiction writing to illustrate the scenario.
who I trying to effect.

How the assumption works in the contemporary art world?
assumptions as

• art is a good thing
• why should not creating art in order to serve as a market value.
• morality of artist

Try to present the modernist idea of 'Art is a good thing' in my essay in order to present the shift of the postmodern idea of why art and why art makes us a better humanbeing?

The commodification of art ----> demolish the idea that art as an alternative space? really?
maybe not, because maybe the commodification of art is also another alternative in its value setting.  There are rarely any rule and precisely apply to art market (at least for living artists).


Thinking about the double side of human being, good ---- bad. 

it seems to be a much bigger project than I would ve thought at the beginning of my 2nd year.
