I am Art 2

March 19th, 2009

The work is about B.K. Adams. About his art and personality. One wall, was going to be devoted to the Washington Post article. (He doesn’t believe its lengthy or want to put anything in his own words).

Critique
Nancy Daly: The previous critique talked about your own personal relationship with him and the photo-documentation doesn’t represent that at all.

Neil Jones: Is this work about him as a person? As a phenomena?

Steven Cummings: This work is about him, family-man, artist.

**(Everyone seems disappointed by his response)

Lizzy Brooks: Why not play the angle of the marketing campaign that you’ve already tried to establish?

**(This is still as admitted by Steven himself, that he has tried to use social media as a whole to promote this artist).

Craig Kalpakjian: What is the bow/gesture about? What does it mean?

Steven Cummings: It is the artist bow, its just the bow he does – that artist bow.

Neil Jones / Darrell Appelzoller: There has to be significance; and it has to mean something and somehow be explained to the general public.

Timothy Druckrey: Narcissism that remakes recreates a situation where he inserts himself into a Black Panther historical photo. You can choose how to represent them, so there is that weight to your creation to represent this author. The accumulative effort of all the images must show something in the end. All the images must be edited and have a clear theme.

Steven Cummings: I don’t want it to be strong, just to be good.

Timothy Druckrey: He could just be a model with paint on his pants and you decided to just make him an artist. He has been subjectified and is not seen as an artist.
