I don't know enough...

I don’t know enough about the politics of the art world....

I always believed in an artist not the school -
Which school Rodin or Michelangelo graduated from?

It can be that it is a different times and different rules.... but I doubt it.

There are some things which do not change:
Education is not the title of the school but the student!

You show and sell your art not the copies of your diploma.
Of course the school matters for the beginning of the carrier;
But it is dangerous and wrong if the artist from the beginning thinks about his - hers carrier instead of art.

We have today, way too many examples of the "artists" who have chosen carrier of artist over the making art.
Time will tell.

Do you propose a " Kogan Diploma " ?
Tsss, sorry for this poor joke...
Hope you're doing fine.
I've just been back from HK and I have to settle down in Paris with Yen for a while. I need to take thousands of pictures (i.e. subway stations, tabacco signs and more ), and publish them in my blog. Give some more time, please, for i have to click'n paste later on...
C you !

My dear Simon, if, by any chance, you happen to read this message, it means that you're late in your publications.... Not that I'm that hungry of your difficult thoughts, but I'm keen to read some more. Go back to the keyboard ! (In C major, please)
