The idea of criticism is that someone is going to read it or listen to it. Why would I do that if the person has nothing to say?
The best-written criticism is not based on indifference. Talking about the work is more complex than you think. There are those who are not doing it in a compelling way. Then there are those who are not even trying. They would rather like to know what the artist had for breakfast. Writers and artists were saying this 15 years ago.
You have to say something meaningful in order to criticise something. You need experience. Talk about the work itself. Swirl it around. Those are the ones who are taking this seriously.
PS. I had nothing for breakfast. Can you imagine anything worse than that? You would think I would've learned by now.
Q: What are art galleries for?
A: A place where you can see some original works collected, displayed and arranged. If you can do that on a regular basis, consider yourself lucky.
I don't believe in the validating power of a gallery. That power is in the work itself. If you are interested in art, you will see it all over the place. It doesn't matter what building you are in.
Art is something you experience and internalise. You will be looking at all kinds of images, reproductions and photos.
Wax crayon / wax on paper. Rinta-Perälä, 2021.
Drawing 363.
1. My astrological sign is reindeer. Unfortunately I'm a male reindeer, which means that the Japanese want to grind my penis into a powder and sell it to Yakuza housewives. I read my horoscope every day.
2. My favourite Scandinavian sweater is black-and-white. I call it fisherman's friend's funeral.
3. Swedish-Americans had a massive campaign for George W. Bush. The slogan was "My Bush Is Yourge Bush".
4. Even though Santa Claus lives in Finland, I am still a virgin to Jingle All the Way.
5. The official phrase for learning an authentic Finnish accent is "Tutsi fruts dental floos".
