gallery results (RANT)

2001-10-06 by Julian Thomas

Hi all,
Just thought i'd share my first (and last) foray into the pure art world. I
got to the gallery and felt that 'sinking' feeling. On one wall there was a
carpet covered brick, a frame with two blank pieces of white paper, and on
the other  an un-painted door frame (not dissing the art, just thinking 'how
the fuck is my stuff going to fit here').
Saw the guy who looked at my stuff (we don't do photography here, but i was
thinking of dabbling).
Q: How many of each do you make?
A: In this series 10.
Q: Oh no, that is no good, there is an 'international cannon' that for a
piece to be a unique work, there can only be 4 copies. Why is this paper
matte?
A: Because I use a German paper that I like the look of and I like th
ecolour I get with the ink.
Q: Ink?
A: (description of piezo)
Q: Does it go blue?
A: No
Q: Does anyone else use this system and sell work through art galleries?
A: In US and UK yes, Spain, I don't know.
Q: This is all small, we'd need prints 3m by 4m, could you do that... Could
you do photographs that look more like Barcelona?
A !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck me
Julian
