As a visual artist I find artists' statements constricting, and they often lead to two forms of "art criticism" locally. 1)Using it and the artist's CV as the core of one's article with nary a thought of their own, or 2)as a launching pad for their own irrelevant meanderings. Both are obfuscating to the point of discouraging any personal interpretation by the casual or informed observer.Reem Khurshidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110720279777344316.post-12405906122070630452010-10-29T17:17:12.280+05:002010-10-29T17:17:12.280+05:00Umair: but true :)Umair: but true :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110720279777344316.post-81113510274923455082010-10-29T13:45:42.811+05:002010-10-29T13:45:42.811+05:00This is pitch-perfect parody.
