Description

SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZEIrreverent, provocative and funny DazedThis book might change the way you look at art, or change the way you feel it Daisy HildyardA fullthroated defence of the inherent value of making, experiencing and talking about art FriezeLet me stay there, let me paint. Let me go to bed when the sun comes up. I dont want life to sharpen me.Why make art? Faced with a capitalist system that has turned art into artwork and creative expression into cutthroat competition, why do so many artists try anyway?In this eyeopening journey through the bizarre world of contemporary art, criticism duo The White Pube tell the story of art like never before. Poor Artists follows aspiring artist Quest Talukdar through childhood obsessions, art school lessons and her professional debut. In surreal encounters with other artists, Quest learns profound truths about money and power, and must decide whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself.Blending imaginative storytelling with dialogue from anonymized interviews with real people in the art world who have all had to wrestle with the same decisions including a Turner Prize winner or two, a few ghosts, a Venice Biennale fraudster and a communist messiah Poor Artists is a powerful testimony to the emotional, existential and financial experience of artists today.
