š Making Art vs Making a Product
When do we decide if itās art?
Iām thinking about the difference between making art and making products. Is it āArtā every time we make something?
Iām thinking about David Shrigleyās quote again.
āArt is the bi-product of the process of creatingā
Okay thatās probably a misquote, but the idea is there.
What is the process of creating then?
Filtration
The artist is a filter.
A filter of lived experience.
A filter of other Art.
A filter of ideas; your own, and if youāre collaborating in a project or part of a movement, youāre a filter of the ideas of others too.
Then you go about collecting things, researching, sketching, filtering.
Then you start making the thing, filter out your tools choose the best ones for the job.
And you end up with a thing, a product. You now have one last filter. One question to ask; Is it any good and therefore Art?
