It is triggered by the fire displayed in the post I browsed. And on this article Making the most of an Art Fund National Art Pass: Man Ray and Humphrey Ocean at the National Portrait Gallery | Axisweb Staff Blog. I was actually excited enough to leave a thought :) I do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or do some of the comments come across as if they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online social sites, I'd like to follow everything fresh you have to post.

That is why this Government wants to dumb it down and control it. What better way than getting the masses of the ignorant public who have not had either an education or an art education to select what they think is great. Here comes Rolf Harris and the celebs. What is needed is a proper education of the Politics, the Power, the Establishment, the Media, the Food and Drugs Industry and the power elite who run the world and why there is a cover up and ridicule of flying saucers and extra terrestrials which has been disclosed by US and Russian astronauts, military and civil aviation pilots worldwide and radar operators and flight investigators. As long as everyone eats MacDonalds, drinks Coke and Pepsi, reads the Sun,watches the trash on T.V. and listens to Radio One nothing will change for the better. Artists in their privileged positions are a clear and present danger to the regime that exists. Look at previous Revolutions. The street rioters may not be aware of the subjects that I have mentioned but there sure is a lot of anger swelling up in young and old about the unfairness and injustice in our society and it doesn't need to be like that.

I, for one, generally skip the e mails as I get sufficient. Ruth can decide what is newsworthy for axis. She appears to be on the ball or at least the cutting edge and as the Director and a woman she comes first in my book. (Count the metaphors and similes!!!) I really am suspicious when accountants answer my e mails!!! I think there is a definite case for newsworthy items to be posted on the new website.

]]> Comment on Artists and museums: the collecting and archiving impulse in contemporary art by Stuart Haden http://blog.axisweb.org/index.php/2013/04/artists-and-museums-the-collecting-and-archiving-impulse-in-contemporary-art/#comment-5531 Stuart Haden Sat, 08 Jun 2013 20:38:28 +0000 http://blog.axisweb.org/?p=1321#comment-5531 Very apt and pertinent article and rings all the bells with me! I am a hoarder and a meticulous researcher and curious about all aspects of our existence and must say how isolationist axis members are. I constantly research worldwide and am not driven by the brain washing media or the arts establishment who want it all their way. I get out to see the most interesting exhibitions at the Welcome (their raw Japanese ethnic and vernacular art at present is fascinating). I visited Phillips de Pury to see the magnificent Palladium prints far better than the ink jet ones that you have to pay £10 to see at the Natural History Museum. I have just discovered Barbara Bloom's photographic work which is innovative and moves colour and black and white photography on from Stephen Shore and William Eggleston. Have you noticed so far that I haven't mentioned one British artist? Please pay attention. If an artist is not aware of the globalisation and the suspicious undertakings of the Bilderberg Group they are not fully aware. They may be great artists but they are working in a very limited field of their own small circle. So much for for my introduction! Yes, I firmly believe artists would be very happy to curate and select from the archives and storerooms of Museums and Art Galleries. I was impressed to see that Barbara Bloom did exactly that in New York. Coincidentally I was dismayed and appalled that the V & A who had been donated Frank LLoyd Wright's interior space by a client had been desecrated and vandalised by an artist and was on show at Tate Britain recently. If that is the way galleries and museums are going to carry on and get rid of important works by known masters, in this case a master architect who again is not British for a British artist to dumb down a master for his own ego trip I want no part of it!!!! It could have been donated to the Architectural Association, any number of schools of architecture or even schools of interior design or furniture design or product design but to leave an artist of that calibre to desecrate a work of lovingly detailed coordinated quality is beyond the pale. I can only assume that the Establishment including HRH The Prince of Wales wants to eradicate all traces of modernist design and foreign culture from our shores and censor art history to their very dubious political and overbearing superiority over the masses.

Is that the case or can any one on the axisweb.org site use it to start a discussion. I wrote to you, Ruth, about the provision of artist being able to get things off their chest or breast as in the good old days. This website is strangely silent and proves my point that communication is human's weakest link. There are few who respond to rant or art talk and certainly no criticism or praise flying around. Some of us are still in dismay at what axis believes are MAStars!!! Why not let axis artists decide on a vote basis? As for this blog by you, Ruth, I believe it is highly relevant and pertinent. It stinks of political bias and lack of true democracy. Here we go again! Dumb down the people's choice especially if it is from the working class north of London and make sure the exclusive London elite who are the accountants, marketing gurus and ignorant rich investors control the very spurious art scene. No wonder Lowry was not considered when he was alive and what about all those great Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish artists. On the devolution, decentralised, evolutionary revolution. And a very well made point, Ruth. Bring back hanging of the undisclosed talent lurking somewhere in the UK. At least I will have a permanent exhibition of my Spitalfield photographs at the English Restaurant in Brushfield Street, Londo E1 starting in August, 2013 round the corner from Emin International who is generally closed!!!!!!

Yes, I agree that artists will survive and continue to make new work, even in a challenging economic climate. And you're probably right about the size of the art world compared with thirty years ago. Maybe a bit of pruning is no bad thing. I'm not so sure about schools though... my impression would be that overall they are less creative than they were a generation ago, with some outstanding exceptions of course. All a matter of opinion I guess! Thanks for your comment. Yes, I agree that artists will survive and continue to make new work, even in a challenging economic climate.

Although the current economic climate & cutbacks in public spending, are certainly producing a decline in the number of institutions , administrators & enablers,employed in the arts, surely there are still far more around than, thirty years ago? Visual Art is essentialy a means of communication, & still has the potential for an individual to express themselves, their lives, & the world we live in. Innovative & original individuals still have the opportunity to find perceptive & revealing ways to mirror the changing societies they live in. Visual media,opportunities & the way society looks at images, changes rapidly, but it may be possible to be "artful" & explore new ways of bringing art into other peoples lives? Paradoxically, it seems to me, the ""ownership" of art by "experts", professionals,administrators & acedemics, whilst claiming to offer explanation & interpretation of art to a general public, actually removes much of its pertinance & vitality, transforming it into an elitist activity? Art institutions are competing with artists for public funds & attention.Society has always produced artists, & there will be inividuals who continue to make art that has some relevance for the times?

There's still an assumption that arts subjects are somehow a soft option. On the question of degrees, it must be very frustrating to discover that they seem to count for so much. But I guess all the famous artists you mention did have a training. Constable attended the Royal Academy Schools and Leonardo studied under the painter Verrocchio. In that respect, I'm not sure that things have changed all that much.
