Desire of beauty or desire of process? First think that came to my mind after seeing the show and comparing it to Moore College. In those 2 exhibitions I can completely feel the role of the curator(s) when its time to combine different artists in the same space.

Do Jeff Koon is a creator who hires craftsmans? Do his work is consider craft or creation? What is the step between the moment we call something art and craft? When I was in France, this concept was really present in our discussions. That's why french artists do not create any material art these days. The creation as to take place in their heads and when it becomes material, they talk about craft! Should we stop doing material art? It seems like people still enjoy to see figurative art more then anything else. Surveys can tell!

Models refused to walked for him because they were terrified! What is fashion today? Beauty or......
