i think if you call yourself an 'art lover' but only ever engage with comfortable unchallenging material and call things that make you upset or uncomfortable or god forbid are not aesthetically pleasing 'not art' or 'bad art' you probably dont actually love art

#spitblaze says things #i promise you. art school very much wants you to learn the history. duchamp did not make fountain because he was ignorant of all art before #anyway. as ive said before. you dont have to *like* it #you just have to engage with it. just a bit. meet it halfway #'but i dont know how' fair enough a lot of conceptual art feels very dense #but its less dense when you know that the POINT is your reaction to it #what does it make you think of? does it remind you of anything? what emotions does it evoke?
