@IterIntellectus Well said and unfortunately very true. It can all disappear in a blink of an eye.

Validation through Representation
Representation means validation. For an artist to be represented by a gallery is taken as a sign that he has arrived in his quest for recognition of his art. That assumption is based on a model from around 1886 in Paris, replicated in the 1950s in New York. Back then it meant that someone would believe enough in an artist to put his lifeblood on the line to ensure the artist’s survival/success. The last incarnation of such a man was Michael Werner of Cologne. https://t.co/4lLbU2gyt1

@artnet Maybe the art industry is not an industry after all.

@EliAfriatISR can't make this up - Terrorists protesting death penalty for Terrorists - like it's a discrimination of their "culture"

@Eve_Barlow Why is it that I see the Eyes of Josef Vissarionovich Tshugashvili and those of the late Ruhollah Mostafavi Musavi Khomeini, when I look into yours?

[David Stern @DavidStern_us]

@GAZAWOOD1 top notch reasoning

[David Stern @DavidStern_us]

@DanielLubetzky It might be "cultural" at least the readiness to resort to brutal violence if someone does not want to follow the death cult. Reading Norbert Elias' The development of Civilizations from 1939 reveals the fundamental differences between culture and civilization.

@GadSaad As an artist I feel with you :)

@brahma_4u Sarcasm at its best!

[David Stern @DavidStern_us]

@Aaron_Lowry @rossiadam Very true, although I wouldn't look at it as an unchangeable truth, but as something that might fluctuate. Some times are better than others for those who perceive more.

@RealJamesWoods Stream of unconscious. This can't be real!

[David Stern @DavidStern_us]

@NYRangers @TheGarden ...to show some resolve, I hope.

[David Stern @DavidStern_us]

@AutismCapital that can't be true.
