Last night, I just had a bizarre but interesting conversation with my dad. I informed him that the date of my following exhibition is decided, which is January 28th, and he replied me that, “I’m curious how much works you can sell at your exhibition!” Definitely, I told him that the goal of the exhibition is not for selling. Yet, he said that it will finally lead to sell your works anyway.
It very hard to refuse his argument in a big picture, since he is right. Though right now my exhibition is more for the academic purpose, it will finally have some potential on my future art selling somehow. Thus, I started to think about the relationship among hobbies, jobs, and passions again.
I feel the most important elements for a job is a professional attitude, which makes people willing to take the responsibility. For the hobbies, people just need to make themselves happy. However, for the jobs, one needs also take the responsibility for his or her clients, to make them happy.
Put rules back into the content of Art, it is a little bit of controversy at first, since how can a good art be original, fulfilling the artist’s own will, and satisfy the audience’s taste at the same time? Heather and I talked about that question once, and I really love her answer. She said that there are 6.5 billion people all around world, and some of them are definitely going to love what you are doing. Also, people cannot really anticipate the trends. Thus, the best we can do is to focus on what we are doing, and make it best.
