Why is it a good time to be an artist or writer

If my title is not cynical, I can perhaps say that if money for nonprofit organizations, cut, if people look twice to keep the price of theater tickets and home on TV although to make masterpieces to see money for Christies failure? All purchases of luxury or of little importance as books and art will be reduced. Associate companies and executives are dumping their collections vanity auction of prestige, prizes and fall strong participation. Many small businesses related to arts failure, including bookshops, small theaters, galleries, museums, too. Certainly, it is a time for a great lamentation over the land of creative people who have already submitted to remember their last hopes of a new WPA program, which will certainly be announced shortly.

So why in the name of Picasso would be a good time to be an artist or a writer? Let's start with Bush, or should I say Bush-hater. Artists and writers have a disproportionate effort "against the man was." The attitude, however justified, it was Easy to structure space and has a good feeling about evil efforts, because the artist was rush urgent need the evil regime. How much subtlety was needed?

With a new democratic government's power dynamics strongly gripping Washington, it is not necessary to redouble efforts to address the public on the war in Iraq and other waste unpopular positions. Soon his "mistakes" are our "fault as Democrats, innovative and / or borrowings from the previous administration and we have only our own fault. Only the most distant from us (on the left as a practice is already unhappy with Obama) will continue as the artistic crime of the principal source for use.

I hope that the whole concept of "artist as a political "phase will end. Of course, we can still support our cause of global warming, corporatism, landmines, and nuclear disarmament, if we want, but also adults in Washington will do their best for the constituencies that have supported these causes represent. We need to write for them, although there is no guarantee that the solutions we are or how fast. Nevertheless, the artist will protest position to find something empty, a little less convincing, and we hope to move again, less instinctive, less repetitive, less flashy content.

Back to the question of insolvency in the arts community. Not that I think the art world is too thick and will benefit of a strict diet, but it is worth thinking that was the art market and could be. Art was in a sense, also feeder on the world of high finance. How many people can afford, for example, a painting more than $ 10,000 (and I'm here, stretching). It seems that the middle class not much original art. Why not? Because the content (often incomprehensible, but supported by museums and academics) is largely driven not necessarily to ordinary people.

In the literary world, where readership is falling, the agents and publishers are Running Scared. They want another phenomenon JK Rowling are not sure where and how to find them. Meanwhile, a tsunami of independent publishers and bloggers in the publishing world is to read them. Both sellers and manufacturers of art must meet this challenge. If they have their say, how say, where? New forms, hybrids and experiences multiply and the world of criticism (eg the New York Times Book Review) holds his nose, hoping the crowd will all go away and soon everyone will be on network television, Broadway shows and has reached industrial return "genius" in the print world. That did not happen. People are entertainment in new ways, from YouTube, Blogger for game developers to "Low brow" art, illustrators, graffiti and tattoo artist embraces a "real" artist. Some see this as a devastating collapse of "high" culture, I see as evidence that many aspects of art are not doing their job.

Music could be an exception, and an example. While traditional media further decline in CD sales site something we are supposed federal government, an explosion of interest the music is happening around the world. The Internet allows us to our own radio station (like Pandora to be created), iTunes makes it easy, everything we want, and portable music players, we buy free Big Big radio and music businesses. This is partly because, unlike say about painting or literary narrative (not the good, the bad), the general public has never been his love and music is never given. The music is well on his way. If such groups are less superstar, but there are more people with his music they like? I hope so. Will it be difficult to find new geniuses, if they are not selected from the game and promoted by Big Music? Maybe, maybe not. Most likely, the Internet is the self-criticism, which allows different music will continue until the costs of the arrival of surviving the music goes back again to the public. Global less money to go to the music, because people are used to getting for free? Maybe. Inevitably, the good money orders, think organic products. People pay over the life of both the label and the confidence in the quality and taste, even if can not prove it, or taste.

People pay for entertainment. Collection of original art on a small scale are people possible do something, once again, their confidence will be to their liking. How many people are worried their musical tastes need experts to tell them apart if good? I know what I want is the norm. In fact, for millions, if his Popular time to dig deeper and find the creative team (the new new) has already been there and done that and now do something completely new.

Thus, we could at the edge an explosion of creativity. I will experience my last point of referencing in tough economic times, but very creative other countries are: the Weimar Republic. This from Wikipedia:

"The 1920s saw a massive cultural revival Germany. It was probably the most innovative period of cultural change in Germany. Street innovative plays a hearing, the cabaret has become very People. Women have been Americanized, makeup, hair short, smoking and out of tradition. The music was a practical purpose, such as atonality Schoenberg created "and is a new type of architecture at the Bauhaus school informed. The art reflects the new ideas of the time with artists like Grosz convicted of defaming the army, and blasphemy, a fine. "

There are a lot of opportunity, people, stop whining and get to work!
