It is fine to joke about artspeak, and about those artist statements that
are all about posing and obfuscation, because there is much to ridicule in
that kind of art writing. But if you want some help writing a good artist'=

Artist's Statement" at

so many venues these days, and it is to the advantage of every

My favorite line on that artist statement generator page was this one...
"note: The Market-O-Matic (1.0) [fine arts version] doesn't work right
in Netscape 4.x for PC's, and I just don't care anymore."
I've been there and done that when it comes to getting something to
work in every browser in the world.
