I thought this chapter was also pretty wordy but it had some good information in it. The author explained that the art world is constantly changing. New ideas keep popping up, old rules get thrown out and replaced with new ones. New standards are always coming up. There will never be a sure standard for what art can be, because it's always changing many times a day even. This chapter also discusses different exhibition spaces and all the people involved in an exhibition and art in general.
The author also states that the world is your gallery and that you shouldn't be limited to a fancy gallery. They also basically say not to be discouraged if someone doesn't like your work. Not every single person that sees your work will like it. Everyone is different.
I thought this quote was really interesting: “Art may be eternal, but the attention span of the art world is roughly the blink of an eye.” That is so true, the face of art is changing constantly.
Good post - thanks.
