the esteemed saboteur reggie baylor hosts an evening at the scallops hotel - Milo

The moment you receive funding for art, you’ve sold out

The moment you’re paid to associate yourself to art, you’re sold out

The moment you sell one painting, you sell out

So why not just multiply that as many times as you possibly can

And then be able to continue to do the thing that you’re so passionate about

your entire life, continuously and consistently

This is how it really, really started

The professor in the philosophy class put this line on the chalkboard

And then began to explain that the line is what we use to create everything

Mankind uses this for science, mankind uses this for chemistry

We use this for architectural purposes, we use it for engineering

We use it for computers, we use it for storytelling, filmmaking

It is what man uses to make any object

Well then I start thinking, well, if that’s the case, then in a line there are

points from one line to the next

How do you get from one point to the next

Linear thinking

And if I want to be an artist, what do I need to do to go from one point to the

next

Now if I have- how many options do I have when I’m going to point AB

Just so you know imma interrupt you

This is all up here, it’s not gonna sound- it’s not gonna make any sense to you

at all

None at all

Remember I’m an artist, but I’m talking about logic

From point A to point B the professor clearly stated that there are an infinite

amount of points between two points

An infinite

And I started to say to myself well if there’s an infinite amount of points,

what if I just found one for myself

So if the possibilities are infinite, there’s no big issue here,

it’s not that difficult

You just have to find one in infinity

Second question, my senior year in, um, sculpture class something similar to

this

I was given twenty minutes- every student was given twenty minutes to give an

oral presentation from this question

What is good art

Well, you know, I’m a senior and I’m thinking to myself well, uh, you know,

I’ve spent four years

I get a lot of- I got a lot of As, I was very studious

I was doing good artwork

This is an easy question

Well what happened was all the presentations prior to mine I then started to

argue

It was a constant argument

The person would say this- case in point, um, which was my favorite,

good art means it is consistently aesthetically relevant

And that one really got me, so you know what I think that’s what good art

really could be

But then I started to say, well what if it was consistently inconsistently

aesthetically relevant

So that an artist then would do a hundred paintings and none of them looked

alike, wouldn’t that inconsistency necessarily mean that is now good

So consistent or inconsistent good art could exist
