Your creative activities dissed and trivialised as a mere hobby?

On visiting my family for their golden anniversary bash, family members referring to your creative path as a 'hobby' in the way presumably golf, bungee jumping or trainspotting is a mere hobby. Along with, as though school was only yesterday 'you are daydreaming instead of concentrating on what is important.'

Like the day job.

A prospective student I was foolish enough to answer honestly when she asked me about my other interests beyond the day job, who referred to my less profitable creative activites as a H.O.B.B.Y - I am not sure I want to know if she was just tactless, in a bad mood, or generally hostile. It is hard to tell with people sometimes. Maybe she thought I was in a bad mood, but my sense still is that she was needling a bit.

In any case, she is, in actual fact, dead wrong, as I do, very occasionally, actually sell pieces of my artwork, even if my bread and butter will newver come from it primarily, and perhaps the possible compromises that might require may not make that worthwhile (as in 'sorry honey, but only green sells these days'. In fact, if there are no problems in having the compulsory changes in my articles of associaton changed, I may even be able to legitimately ask for an invoice if I sell an artwork in Budapest too.

Imagine.

Off to the UK for a couple of weeks at the weekend...half really glad to be away from the punitive and thoroughly Kafkaesque Hungarian tax system that really has taken all my dough, half sorry to be leaving the baking summer and my flat with its plants for the rain of the UK. And god knows how much flak, though my parents' golden anniversary on the face of it brings smiles and congrats from people here.

I shall be visitng Brighton eventually but before that, Hillfields Coventry, where I used to live and where I still miss the community of wild and woolly artists with whom I exhibited....'barking mad' we were called.

The Establishment ignored us.

Most of the flats where I lived were knocked down to make way for a shiny new college, though the one I lived in is still there.

Note now, how I have put up some of my Very Earliest Pieces. I was always told this type of work was 'decorative' and especially seeing what is on offer here, now wish I had not taken this on board quite so much.

I have been chucking a lot of work I susepct is burying the better of what I have with mediocrity. Some demolition work of my own.


If you are ever in Budapest, do check out my work in the Berlitz, Bajsczi Zsilinszy 29, or the Vam Design Cellar at Váci Utca 28.

Still, it did get my trying other things.

Recently I was asked to join a ‘remodernist’ group, which apparently is made up of members ‘who would challenge the hegemony of post-modernism.’

Well, sentiments like these could certainly have taken the words out of my mouth.
I wonder how many people are getting tired of the elitsm, the gimmickism ranging from exhibitng dogs to die (allegedly) to urinals, along with (allegedly from an artist friend-cum-student of mine who saw it), a machine that makes synthetic but authentic manure (with no commercial or scientific application whatsoever, It was All in the Nameof Art), to more exhibiting more organically-produced poo in various hues?
The Emperors-new-clothes aspect of the cleverness of it all created laziness for me too. Why bother with an inner artistic path of transmutation or however you might wish to define it, when some graduate from the right school only has to daub an ugly shape with ugly colours (ugliness cannot be superficial after all) and make thousands out of it???
I do hope that my work will be able to speak for itself more and more.
Do come and check it out of you might be interested. We are looking to get an exhibition together, mayb virtual for the time being, but maybe actual later on more.

Recently someone comtacted me on another forum, inviting me to join a 're-modernist' group - an answer to the silliness of post-modern irony, conceptunalism, etc.

The sentiments could not have been expressed better, as far as I am concerned. I have felt that way a long time, with or without dogs being allegedly starved to death in front of indifferent audiences in modern galleries. Did that really win a first-proze art competition???.

I am no post-modernist.

I could not access it last night, nor this evening, in fact, all of GeoCities seemsto be down.

It is just makingme feel rather paranoid someohow...like What's Going On?

Has it all been swallowed up and no-one is telling us?

Anyway, they tell other artists here where to go to put up their work.

How do you get to know and watch? According to my stats, I have watched zero people, and zero people have watched me..........

Statistic, fugues, sheets.

Well.

Keep spinning the wheels. Fill in those nice feedback forms, maybe soon something juicy will emerge

and

I might

get

blackballed.

Again.




Oh well, whatever.
