Thanks to @startrekprism for reminding me this template/format exists! (Let me know if you don’t want tags in stuff:))

I decided to draw this with Kirith as a kid before/after his accident. I wish little Kirith could see himself now and know things do get better

Close ups under the cut:)

Q&A: Alternatives - Thierry Geoffroy

#LosOsosRecomiendan esta entrevista con Thierry Geoffroy sobre los Emergency Rooms, Critical Runs y otros proyectos de formatos de arte alternativos:

More generally, what are your views on the exhibition as the primary format and mechanism for engaging with visual art?" "Well, IKEA does good exhibitions … and relational art. I am told that to exhibit is ‘to give to be seen’; showing. So, why not? But if the goal is to sell more weapons or beer, it is better not to exhibit. I am more interest in training the ‘awareness muscle’. Exhibiting has to be connected with some kind of effort. The exhibition-as-entertainment is as dangerous as most main-stream television. In the end, the question for me is: by making/consuming art, have we become better human beings? If it has just been entertainment, we have not move of one millimetre. I am for coming together, the better to care of each other.

Really, things have been dying and changing since forever. People don't buy Big Little Books anymore; people don't walk on the promenade anymore; people don't go to roller derby. Actually, they do all of those things; they just don't do them in great numbers. One of the wonderful things about treating art as an art rather than as a public commodity is that you focus on the quality of the experience and benefiting the artists directly; you don't worry about the size of something for the sake of worrying about the size of something.

Tom Spurgeon, about movies, but applies to everything really.
