Our world has become a place based around daily routines, depression and boredom. Our public space is occupied with ad after ad. That visual expression is breastfeeding the people of our world of what pure and real beauty is. Art Galleries which used to be a peaceful place for everybody in the society has today turned into white rooms with aesthetic, posh idealism. Instead of a warm and friendly atmosphere it is speaking in a clear tone: Keep out! The time has come to change that attitude.
Galleries should welcome everyone regardless
ethnicity, race, political viewpoint, class, background,
job, status etc. Every gallery should salute any artist
with open arms and say: Hey, in my house, you’re allowed
to drink milk straight from the can, okay?
Galleries should be free and open for anyone to
use or visit. There must be no fees or economic interest
from the gallery itself. To survive the gallery should
sell merchandise and other products that don’t interfere
with the artist’s and the peoples freedom.
There must always be a general interest in art and design.
Today the public tend to avoid the galleries that from the
beginning was made for them. To keep a common curiosity we
need to work together against the posh white rooms that
seems to been made for only a certain group of people.
Today pretentious and idealistic galleries discriminate creative people. Only the ones that are hyped by the media or have the right contacts get access to the tragic glorious world of the white rooms. Let’s dance around the awful space and salute each other with embraces and open arms.
Provoking art should never be disallowed as long as the artist can explain why he/she wants to create it. Art is a form of communication and if it creates reactions in any way it should be classified as art and belong in a gallery.
A gallery should always display quality and professional art and design. Just because a gallery isn’t posh and pretentious doesn’t mean that it cant be professional and show high quality work.
All form of art and design should connect and work together. Not until music, film, design, art, poetry and every other part of culture is working collectively towards a common aim can we start to imagine a world free from posh, fake and discriminating galleries.
For too long has there been a clash between the pretentious culture elite and the general public. It is time for art and design to reach its righteous owner, the people.
