Regarding art education, and something that ties into the generational aspect: art students in the late 70's and in the 80's were not encouraged to pursue technical aspects of art-making. In that respect, the only thing that's changed is the scale of things. The people that were driven enough to pursue the technical side had to do it more or less on their own. Of those, the ones that now teach in art schools are the least intrusive conceptually on their students' work and they have a lot to teach on technical aspects. They are a minority, and they've developed a thick skin to the confusion around, so they they tend to be hard to spot, but they're there and I had the good fortune to meet some. Thanks for some very good insight.

We'll just have to push on and hope, trust, work that the light will go on, a searchlight to reveal the delusions the artworld has been operating under for several decades.

Theory (from Dada through Postmodernism to today's status-focus) de-emphasizes a huge part of our humanity, to wit, the part of us that senses visually and touches/makes. These activities, which involve huge amounts of our brain and give great pleasure in looking at beauty and making something well, are dismissively called "retinal" and "hand" by many of the establishment. How long can this last? Not much longer, I'd say. Because we are human, we get mental and physical elation from putting images and techniques together. We seem hard-wired to "read" such things. The poor Hirsts, Saatchis, and numbed art world followers focus on words and financial success to the exclusion of our whole being. They cannot last. Like al Quaeda, they are just in the way, and are destroying much, without any real chance of success. Our natural love of Form and Making will out, unless we evolve in the net 20 years as much as we have evolved in the last 100,000.
