Deep Water Prompt #3208

We are nearly apprehended, attempting to steal a living painting from the world’s most famous gallery. We have no choice but to enter it, safely hidden, but at the mercy of the world inside.

Lee Krasner lost husband Jackson Pollock in a car crash. The next year, she finished “The Seasons” and said: “The question came up whether one would continue painting at all, and I guess this was my answer.”

So I saw a TikTok talking about art museums and how they’re living spaces, and people in the comments were talking about accessibility ($$$).

Well, as a librarian, I really want to let y’all know you can probably get a free pass to local art and history museums! And no, you don’t need to live in some big city. Many small towns and cities pay for passes to museums as well. Looking at a couple here in NJ.

This is the offering from the Union Public Library in Union, NJ. Everything from big museums like the MoMA, Guggenheim, and Intrepid in NYC to smaller museums like the Morris Museum in Morristown, NJ (Which I interned at for a summer. It’s nice! Go visit!)

Here’s from another New Jersey library library, this time from Teaneck. They have passes you can literally print out from home, as well as a bunch of museums both in NYC and locally in NJ.

Point is, if you want to visit more museums, go get yourself a library card!

“The Frame” (1938), Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo is considered to be the first surrealist painter and was the first Mexican woman artist to be represented in a major European institution, The Louvre, Paris. This was the painting they acquired in 1939!

A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.

Support artists in your community!

Last year I started taking a sculpture class at a community college in Oakland (which is why you now are seeing me post sculptures on here), and it has radically changed the way I experience art museums. I now have this new experience of seeing work that engages with ideas that my classmates are, frankly, doing better with far fewer resources.

This isn't a ground breaking observation obviously. I have known, intellectually, for a long time that art is a game of connections and who you know and resources. But it hits different when you see it in real time, played out across very expensive and fancy museum floors.

It must be extra frustrating for teachers at these colleges, constantly seeing students come through who are doing amazing, original work and getting zero recognition or access to the spaces in which "success" in the art world happens.

I have no illusions that I am going to be able to dismantle the fucked up power structures of the art world, but what I can do is support and encourage the artists in my community and you probably can too. I guarantee that many artists around you are arranging their own shows in garage spaces, or warehouses, or community centers. Go see them! Buy their work! Share their stuff on Instagram or Tumblr or whatever!

Because everyone should know this!!!!!

I'd feel weird for saying that I've always wanted to do this, but apparently I wasn't the only one.

Picture Translation:

Most art museums today exhibit a minor number of artworks in a restricted indoor space, which means that they are restricted to people who find these places. But I don't agree with this. People, no matter who, should all be able to enjoy art naturally, in their daily lives.

(T/N: Said by artist Moon Shin.)

Art museums are great places for people watching. Also you can look at the art. -- Michael Lipsey
