The "art community" (nowhere in particular, just a feeling I get from it) seems unwilling to drop the attention from subjects on nostalgia, isolation, urbanization, heightening everyday objects' values, vain beauty of minimalism, sex/violence, etc.; which of course, leads to subjects of redundancy, which also has a long-life bulb installed above it for the past decade.
Just wondering: do people feel it's getting redundant heightening the value of the subject on redundancy? Because these dry human conditions are not going away when a lot of our art is reinforcing its existence...or maybe people think it's a deep subject that should continue its repetition...
i definately get frustrated about some of these things. worst: when i'm given an assignment to, for example, "heighten the value of an everyday object!" (this one annoys me the most) i just feel so...
i don't care if other people do this, and if they do it well, yay. but i don't like getting assignments for which i have to express an ideal that i don't care about and think has been done and overdone.
i try to bend assignments i don't like and make them "mine" but, truth: i'm usually too lazy.

it's called a bandwagon, and, i'm sorry to say, but over half of the students i've had in my classes have jumped on it.
myocad.com is an independent student community for OCAD. That boys and girls happens to stand for Ontario College of Art and Design. The "of" and "and" didn't make it into the acronym, otherwise our website would be called myocoaad.
