Joerg on ‘THE ARTISTS STATEMENT’

Good advice going on at Conscientious Extended. Well worth a read.

First of all, why even write an artist/project statement? Well, you write a statement because that’s part of the game. That’s a pretty lousy answer, and there is more to statements than just that. But you need to realize that a) you should have a statement because you are expected to have one and b) you should spend a little bit of time on it, because a bad artist statement will make you and your work look bad.
