New Years Resolution, by Existencil on Dec 19, 2007 21:14:23 GMT 1, I've been thinking today about the whole online bun fight thing. I know POW gives you the opportunity to buy good art at a decent price, but it's kind of depressing. I've been to some fantastic shows this year where you can actually meet people, have a drink, eye some ladies & perhaps buy some art. Surely that is the way it should be. This F5ing situation is really, really soul destroying & hurts the coolness that surrounds art and art buying. One of my new years resolutions will be to get to as many shows as possible in 2008. I want to get out there, find new artists, meet gallery people & make it enjoyable. POW has been really interesting in 2007, but I think there is life for me beyong the constant refreshing. Perhaps all the negativity on here would be reduced if people had varied sources & tastes. Actual human contact also helps to keep you smiling.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to you all & happy 2008!

The whole computer thing is strange to me. you are essentially buying a piece of art you have never even seen.... oh well. I go to a museum or show every single weekend in NY (I must admit I'm lucky to be in a city with world class msuems, artists and galleries) it's beautiful to admire the artistic process, not just the image....

Sounds like a good plan, I've only been to 4 shows this year but that's 4 more than last year! Not surprising really as I live in Devon, if I lived in London my Thursday nights would be pretty much spoken for.

You guys really are lucky!~ With that said I will be flying into London next Thursday to see Banksy's stuff in the streets for the first time first hand and I could not be more excited! I am more excited for this that buying Stop and Search!!!!! Can't wait!!!!
