We don’t pay £300 to see a Van Gogh.." Good point...Er...Well you are unique and in some ways you you aren't :) Visual artists get a similar thing to the multi-national music industry set-up from the old fashioned gallery system. The larger galleries choose and then show our work and if that wasn't tough enough, then more of the same from the self-appointed art critic who then decides what is culturally-relevant and what isn't. (Thanks Steve for posting this...Sorry to have missed your own comments but great to have the opportunity to hear everyone's thoughts from the UnConvention via interactive media... Great work.) “..JezC : why is music unique in having to have these discussions. We don’t pay £300 to see a Van Gogh..”
