Artists Boards?, by Daniel Silk on Dec 20, 2007 14:30:05 GMT 1, I remember readying a post by Jef Aerosol yesterday about having more boards on here for each individual artist ;D Just wanted to start a thread on that idea, so see what ideas come up ;D
One thing I would say is that if an Artist has his own forum, Im not sure how fair it would be for them to have a board on here as well It would not be helping them get their forum off the ground in the long run.
Also of course we are limited by the space on the forum we just cant have hundreds of boards on one page, one for each Artist

it's all a bit confusing to navigate atm, with some arists being on the front page and some being behind the "whats new at the galleries" bit

I think we are a little past that now But If anyone wants to just stick to the one forum they can still do so ;D nobody is forced to visit the other Artists forums. Just giving people options ;D

surely a single forum adds to a sense of a 'community' of people who all have a passion for street art in general different boards encourages splintering and not keeping a sense of the scene in general imho

People use whatever they prefer some like to stick here and talk about stuff in general, and others like to just concentrate on one Artist on that forum. As I say choices never hurt anyone ;D

Artists Boards?, by Jef Aerosol on Dec 20, 2007 15:26:58 GMT 1, G and Mike seem to suggest one general forum that might be called "the street art forum", in which artists would have sections (Banksy among others), is that right ? (And then, personal forums could be either kept or suppressed... ) This could be interesting as many posts don't deal with Banksy only but with street art in general. Well, this being said, I have noticed that a lot of the artists mentioned on this forum have actually never worked on the street ! Sometimes, I'm surprised to see people such as Damien Hirst or the likes talked about on here as they don't seem to have any connection whatsoever with "street art" ! I really love Candice Tripp or Cherry Wood, I find Adam Neate excellent and I like Matt Small a lot (all names I didn't know 3 months ago and I learnt about thanks to the forum), but have they ever worked on the street ? and what about Micaleff ? Is he a street artist at all ? Warhol was in the Award nominees too : a street artist ? Then why not Jeff Koons ? Or Jasper Johns, Franck Stella, Roy Lichtenstein, Monory, Rancillac, Erro, Klasen or Yvan Messac ? Even if there are obvious connections between today's street art and the 60s' pop art, I suppose the forump can't deal with all and everything... Might be a good idea to focus on street artists. Just ideas...

www.artofthestate.co.uk/graffiti/adam_neate.htm
Just a modify, I like contemporary art, so all those artists seem natural to me to discuss together, whether they work on the street to me at least is secondary

Artists Boards?, by Jef Aerosol on Dec 20, 2007 15:38:26 GMT 1, ohh i see ! Very different from what he exhibits ! Interesting...
Slowmo, I'm like you : I know more about art in general and contemporary art in particular than about street art, in fact (even though I'm a street artist myself), and I don't particularly like "limits" or boundaries between things. But then the forum becomes a "contemporary art" forum, not a "street art" forum any more... I don't know... I also like the forum as it is now.... I just think that if it were more "general" and more "street art " oriented, then there would be less threads about how much Banksy prints cost !!! (I never read those dull threads !)... But I guess that some people just enjoy on this forum what I precisely don't like on it ! All tastes....

Artists Boards?, by loucastel on Dec 20, 2007 15:51:05 GMT 1, I like to see Jeff posting on the main board, as it save's having to trawl through loads of other stuff, I know it must be problem what to do , I like nick Walker ,but only spend a short time on that forum ,and always come back here, on here the discussion is more diverse like the people on . I think it is great as it is, if it aint broke why fix it?
