Institutional Critique
As I continue to explore what is seen as art and how & where art is shown, I often find myself creating work as commentary on the art world itself. Who views art? Where? Under what circumstances? What is celebrated versus not? These artworks & projects examine, celebrate, criticize and question some of the practices and expectations I have encountered, from presentation to patronage and on, also delving into life, politics, and philosophy.
I am consistently becoming ever more exasperated with pretentious and self-aggrandizing artist’s statements that perpetuate alienating institutional and intellectual elitism by pontificating at length to promote the use of overly grandiloquent, scholarly, and verbose language, thereby cultivating antiquated bourgeoisie attitudes while simultaneously disengaging from (and thus subsequently disinteresting) the general populace.
