POSTSCRIPT:

Martyn Cashmore

' fundamentals of what the everyday is and what it can be' discussion of art and everyday.
In dialogue with everyday we can find language we can convey its complexity, ambiguity and elusiveness.
Art and galleries - does it need to be in there, if not why does it seem to slip through the nets of the art economy? why do we increase the status of galleries even though they are not necessary? this has even compelled some anti-artist to display in them.
i.e. duchamp. But is this just another protest with many contradictory layers; he wanted to be seen as an artist against art but an in vogue one or vice versa?
why do artist feel a sense of achievement and status when they get something displayed, in a gallery? I don't think that it is a necessity for pieces to be shown in this way even though it has happened to me. I feel that the space should suit the work, not the other way.
But this opinion has holes. It really depends on the viewer to view it as art and not just the mundane. This is where I feel that the artist loses control of the piece, especially in the public sector. can an art object become mundane?
