"A review simply needs to acknowledge that the exhibition exists, that the work within it is a part of art history, that art history is valuable, and that we are all valuable, thereby demonstrating to collectors, curators, and faculty search committees that the artist is a worthwhile collective investment."

Artists:
๐๐ฝTHIS is the crux of a serious art practice๐ซ
1. entertain yourself
2. have fun
3. experiment
4. learn from the outcome
5. develop further
one day, i took this pic of a little note in my tutorโs drawer during masters of fine art practice programme. i wasnโt supposed to see this little recipe for success but i did ๐ค๐ฝthen i printed it & stuck it on a wall in my studio (plant pot to be precise ๐ฅน)
๐ปthese principles are foundational for any artist seeking to create meaningful, evolving works. otherwise, you become a desperate try hard and it shows in your art! so pay attention ๐ง
1. ๐keep your creative process engaging. when you create art that interests you, it sustains your motivation & passion.
2. โค๏ธโ๐ฅart should bring joy.
the process of creation is as important as the end product, & this helps maintain a healthy relationship with your practice. (process matters)
3. ๐งชpush boundaries, try new techniques, & explore different ideas. experimentation leads to innovation + keeps your work evolving. (curiosity)
4. โ๐ฝevery piece of art, successful or not, is an opportunity to learn. understanding what works & what doesn't is key to growth. (critical rigour)
5. ๐use your experiences & insights to refine your skills & ideas. continuous development is essential for long-term artistic growth.
๐๐ฝ๐book mark it & โป๏ธshare w your peers. ๐ปbe the change you wish to see

artists, unless you make art for yourself or for a higher purpose youโll always be dissatisfied with your path.
sales are important for self-sustainability, however, the progression in your art has very different metrics than sales!

LONDON CIPHER - Installation View by @ARTJEDI1
๐SOUND ON!
So grateful to the artist for gifting me this memento from the first crypto art exhibition with Saatchi, held as part of Focus Art Fair x Iham NFT Gallery curated by @bygrida
This is a multi-layered work that weaves together satellite imagery from the river Thames, urban sounds from London, a chronicle of significant protests that defined the city, meditative water elements, a hidden portrait of the artist & her child, as well as percussive recordings ๐
