Try to find a roommate.

Also this is more of a /trv/ thing. You aren't talking about books. If you want to know what publishers to work for or something, that would be relevant.

>>5611847
why do you have to move to be an artist though?

>>5611874
I want to be surrounded by other artists. Art is very much about connections and unless I move out of the bumfuck town I'm from I'm not going to meet anyone who can help me solidify art as my occupation.

Yes and no.

Live in Upper Manhattan. It is cheap, pretty and you do not have to take a shower as soon as you get home like you would if you lived in Brooklyn.

What kind of art?

Please do tell me you becoming a real artist, one who is skilled and trained in the profession. Please do not be worthless, I beg you.

>>5611847
And whatever you do, please avoid the avant-garde. There is no single worse thing in this world than someone attempting to be avant-garde in the 21st century, nothing more absolutely expected and unwanted.

>>5611999
If there's no avant-garde, there's no progress. Avant-garde is simply a preview of what's to come.

pep

>>5611974
want to meet up for coffee? i'm in upper manhattan too

>>5611999
i disagree with you and the way you think distinctions have to be made between "real" and "le avant le garde~" art
nice digits though

>>5611847
Find a job, DONT GET EDUCATION, I can't really stress this enough, find a job , 9 - 5 , people maybe - if you're in to it, at least: Money. That's my advice, and again.>>5611974
What kind of art?

>>5612001
Art has only been perceived as something that must progress in the beginnings of modernism. Art, that is art as in Ars/Artis (a skill or craft) is not technology, but a honest profession. One cannot honestly say one, after breaking every rule and standard of excellence, is still never the less practicing the same thing. Someone who makes tables does not say: "I am my own person, I shall revolutionize tables by making them bookmarks! Look how revolutionary I am! How Avant-Garde! No, before modernism art was a profession which had standards and in which one must work to create something new.

Creative only thrives within a system; there is no creativity in freedom. A body whose genes have structure would collapse like art has done.

Also the Avant-Garde is really quite dated now. There is a magnificent realist movement happening right now. Go see the Art Renewal Center.

>>5612043
No structure*

Sculpture. I'm at a top tier liberal arts college right now, parents are paying 60k a year for me to fuck around and do nothing, and I feel like dropping out and getting a job. What kind of jobs would you recommend?

>>5612087
direct your anger away from the bourgeoisie, young monk -- you know where it must be placed

>>5612077
Not bad for Upper Manhattan. Some cool ex-columbia people and others just doing there own thing up here.

Also a lot of Dominicans.

Try living in Queens: Long Island City or Ridgewood.

Where are you coming from OP?

>>5612102
>>5611974
Where do you guys live?

>>5611847
That is one bitching hat. I want one

>>5611895
I want to be surrounded by other artists too. :(

>>5612088
He's expressing his opinion, that's a respectable way of posting when you aren't struggling to present your ideas.

>>5612087
Money is not eternal, shitty is yor job . LOOK >>5612102

>>5612058
Do whatever you like, whatever feels right, it sounds naïve, but is actually quite hard work - like life in general, it's what i believe though. Maybe you like kids?

>>5612087
I'm actually probably not going to throw it away for a shitty job. I'll probably just move back to my hometown and work for my dad for a starting paycheck of six figures.

>>5612232
But what if I don't like to work?

>>5611895
:'( <Move---->>5612017

>>5611847
Lie about it, and yes as all oyher places in the world.

Are you sure you can manage on your own?

>>5612242
Well, that seems wierd to me, what do you like then? to lay down and die slowly? to talk to people or walk long walks thinking, hm . I'm not saying that "working" is the right solution if you see the universe in its eternity, but it does function as a way of being.
Do you consider your angst, as a phobia against life or against death? and why?
why is working a word you can't align with?

>>5612269
I hate routine, essentially, though if my routine involved waking up, reading, taking a walk, and eating a nice meal, I guess I wouldn't mind it. I really just want a simple, leisurely existence.

There's nothing pornographic there, false reporting is supposed to be a bannable ofense, though.
