Good Point Podcast

Linda Loh asks:

I am curious for you to dig more deeply into what Jeremy said recently about being averse to video art being projected, that it was a no no for that medium, because presumably it "belongs" on a screen.

2 questions:

Ariel Baron-Robbins asks: I’ve been debating what to call contemporary art that incorporates technology like computers, internet, blockchain, AI, software, and apps. Some artists prefer simply “contemporary art”, questioning the need to distinguish it from other forms. Yet, we differentiate between paintings, sculptures, drawings, and videos without issue….which brings me back to square one.

Pyry Qvick asks: I recently won a poetry competition and now my book will be published. That has prompted some questions in my mind, since I have assumptions of my own on what people think of poets. Have you folks encountered unconfortable presumptios on being an artist? How do you deal with the possible stereotypes attach to you in terms of being an artist.

This week, 2 questions merged into one episode:

Kris Meeusen

“When I work on something there is always this big tension between feeling excited or annoyed.

The excitement usually comes from seeing something from a new angle which results in something that looks fresh and exciting to me. I get annoyed when the opposite happens, my explorations turn out to be boring or obvious. When this happens it's really difficult to stop working on it and let it rest , which I think is the best solution... Do you experience the same?

How do you think about time in your projects? Do you have an amount in mind when you start, or do you give things space? I find time to be one of the strongest influences on a project, good and bad. It can focus but also stress. With enough time, we change as people which changes the project. In my own experience, I started a project with a plan to be done in 6 months – I'm still working on it 7 years later. It's cliche to say I wouldn't have started if I'd known that, but I'm sure glad i did. I'd love to hear your thoughts on time as related to creative or meaningful work.
