Seven Days in the Art World: The Crit

• "MFA stands for yet another Mother-Fucking Artist"

• "I believe in education for its own sake, because it is deeply humanizing. It is being a fulfilled human being" "

• "Talent is a double-edged sword."

• "Crits can also be painful rituals that resemble cross-examinations in which artists are forced to rationalize their work and defend themselves from a flurry of half-baked opinions that leave them feeling torn apart."

• The work you do as an artist is... like when a two-year-old discovers how to make a tower out of blocks."
