Often buried within the cacophony of insider blowhards unabashedly and boorishly polluting everyone's feed with drivel.

Lurking + Learning. Noticed I am posting every day. Not sure we all have enough cool recs to be posting constantly without trying too hard. Don’t want to turn this place into another “look at me!” platform. Here’s to the value of quiet lurking & learning

I feel as if I am preaching to the choir here and Contradicting myself however it must be said
posting here with intentional recommendations or genuine questions makes this place valuable and fun
I see bleed over from Twitter or people just straight up complaining about things and I don’t really enjoy it but alas who am I
if I sound ignorant sorry I just see too much myopic discourse on things and get burnt from it as a result of being online too much. This place seems more quiet compared to others

I am rediscovering my love for sharing and writing. It's so rare to find an outlet where sincerely and intelligently offering your ideas is encouraged and made possible by a vibrant community. The discourse and recommendations on here are waking up my brain that has been rotting on twitter/insta/tiktok for years. I find myself writing essays in the rec box and deleting them because they aren't true recs and the sanctity of the site must be preserved. Anyway thank u legends.

So vulnerable, I have to be sincere. European and American art galleries historically are not only promoters of great art, they are creators of markets. That may be where you could shift focus.
Your worth is that you are young, eating rat, living a life of passion, filth, messiness, body horror (per my comment on such) unique and unknown to those with money. They crave you, not for your art. That's worthless to them. The art, as photographs per Sontag in my other rec, is simply a receipt that they owned a piece of your lifestyle for a moment. No one who will buy your art will likely give a fuck about your art. Stop seeking those. Find the Glengarry Glen Ross customers seeking life, escape from drudgery, a need to prove something to themselves. Let your art be that for them.
Enough bs theory, now for implementation. You won't sell your art, but you can sell the frustration, bloodsweattears, dedication, sacrifice that drips from your post. You can do so by simultaneously reminding yourself you are not creating ART but CREATING art. Your work and worth is not on a canvas. It's not the art. It's in you, the artist.
