Deskilling is a fucking disease. In cultural production today (Art, Design, Music etc..) the receiving public is fully willing to accept the deskilled object without question. People today make no attempt to see artistic production as a discipline (in the fullest form of it's meaning), rather artistic production becomes a game where by any criteria (or principle) applied to a work to critically assess it (determine to what degree it is "good") is dismissed as not essential to the work.

As a result people are making straight up garbage and try to pretend it's conceptual, because they have no skill and no discipline. They hide behind the notion that skill, technique, discipline and craft are passe and somehow unconceptual. Most art is produced in a critical vacuum, an environment free of criticism - your fellow artists don't know shit and wouldn't want to offend you anyway. Not only that, 99% of criticism in magazines/internet/literature is purely masturbatory, artists are marketed as saints. Real criticism is key to art, without calling a work into crisis art can't move forward. The response to criticism should be defensive, but not in words - defensive in action. Defensive by making another, greater work. This is why art is stagnant.

Don't go to art school.

Reminder the concept art can thrive only in an academic, neo-liberal culture of publish or perish.

Reminder that concept art doesn't even need to be experienced, but can be fully and adequately described in essay form.

Everything is about who you know, not what you know.

If skills mattered, rich kids wouldn't be able to get all the fun jobs out there.

You have a narrow definition of skill. You should also stop replying to your own thread.

It's demeaning.

art school in slavistan is much the same as described in the book and any of the good ones in the west expect the same academic standards as when academic art was the only art. you do need the skills to forge an old master to make it to your first degree in many of them.
