“Execute dumb ideas beautifully.”

Lisa Hanawalt

Original idea for this came from “You Can’t Put Art on a Pedestal.”

Rules* for making art*Not a perscription. Just what works for me.

Get out of your studio as needed (the world is usually much more interesting).

Listen to good books while you work.

Unlike most of life, when it comes to art-making it’s perfectly ok to not know what you’re doing...

That is, when I’m stuck or bored, I will often just try to skip back to the fun part.

Instead, I developed a fourth-floor curriculum that presents identifiable themes, generalities even, that are currently established in the textures of contemporary aesthetic, political, and economic realities. Within this curriculum, contours can be drawn around three overlapping priorities: contemporary abstract painting by women; materiality and affect theory; and art as strategy—in other words, conceptual practices oriented toward criticality.

Just don’t lie about your motivations. Or else you are stuck with sentences like this.
