Seven Days in the Art World

"The Crit" - highlighted excerpts after reading

1. "Everything goes to pieces in the first year and comes together in the second year. Often the people who are making sense are the ones for whom it hasn't started working yet. They've still got all their defences up."

2. "Look over the resumes of the artists under fifty in any major international museum exhibition and you ill find that most of them boast an MFA from one of a couple of dozen highly selective school."

3."MFA stands for yet another Mother-Fucking-Artist."

4. I related to the one student stating "he certainly gives you enough rope to hang yourself."

5. I was interested in the varied responses to the question of what happens after art school. (teach, waitress, and exhibit)

6. "Most art schools turn a blind eye to the art market, but CalArts seems to turn its back."
