Art in the Hole
How do you define the Jackson Hole art scene? What is missing and why?
Well... defining the Jackson art scene is getting to be more difficult as the contemporary presence grows, but one thing is for sure: it's expensive. Where are the bohemian digs? The struggling artist exists in this town, but how long can he or she sustain? Jackson lacks the resources that make art interesting; the hole in the wall where creative minds convene and social revolutions find life. Or is that too dependent on academia? Maybe the isolation and desirable living standards dampen the chance for unrest and creative scheming, but I find that hard to believe. It seems that artists emerge from both the busy streets of urban life and the isolation of rural dwelling, but what of the suburbans? I can think of no other way to define this valley despite it's distance from any major city. Jackson Hole = Suburbs... eh.... well... I regress.
The Jackson art scene will be interesting TO ME when more questions are asked. When artists choose to pick more at human social existence and less at color and composition.
whew... please bash this blog, because it deserves it!
