It almost seems that the more delusional a person is, the worse their performance. So much for "thought creates reality" To see excellant examples of artistic delusion, just watch “American Idol -worst auditions”.

Where coming from my home town Taiwan, the TV is always showing interviews with local artists, train stations and public places there are always art exhibiting, people respected artists more than here in America. Boy I am sadden by the sad situation of art scene but this is how it is living in a corporate fascist state I guess, where the corporate media prostitutes are worshiped and kissed with fervor by the brainless hypnotized mass.....

I mean, i's one's passion, it makes the artists happy that no matter even if they don't get money from it as long as they can paint. But you can't pay the appreciation and admiration of the people who sees your work. It's such an accomplishment. So most artists are poor.

Thanks for the comment. While the site is somewhat inactive still, I remain active, and I read your note with interest. If you are indeed serious about the idea of moving to Germany, send me a note. I know a least one artist, and soon perhaps a second, who has made that exact move. I can perhaps put you in touch with him/them. Hi Matthew! Thanks for the comment.

Artists killing themselves through competition because they want a lot of awards in order to be a most popular not only on their time but also in the artist history.

Luckily most of it was paid for. But my peers went into much more debt to continue their unappreciated career. I worked during grad school teaching art to underpriveledged disabled children art and theater. In 2008 we were all out of a job. I needed to do something to pay the bills so I got odd jobs and started selling Midcentury furniture at a discount by going to estate sales. I still made theater over the last few years, one or two shows a year. But my visual art production came to a screaching halt. It is somehow easier for me to do theater work, I get paid something via ticket sales and have group support. But now after a few years of getting on my feet I am coming to the sobering conclusion that perhaps I really should just leave America. In Germany, Berlin has a larger art endowment than the entire U.S. artists are respected and financially supported. Even when we were in a good economy artists barely survived. The truth is Americans are so ignorant as to the value of art that it has become almost stupid to want to stay here. But it is more than just ignorance. Comparatively Americans are overworked, underpaid and undereducated. In 2008 I graduated from Grad school MFA. Luckily most of it was paid for.
