Whitney Dail shares the same DNA as stardust. She spends most of her time daydreaming about the universe and anything sixties Space Age, riding her bike (and scooter) often, researching and staying informed about current issues in contemporary art, and watching pro-cycling road races. Whitney has a BFA in Sequential Art (a fancy word for comics) and is currently seeking her Masters in Arts Administration at SCAD.

“The contemporary artist is a semionaut, he invents trajectories between signs.”
From “Relational Aesthetics” by Nicolas Bourriaud
“Utopian Consciousness wants to look far into the distance, but ultimately only in order to penetrate the darkness so near it, of the just lived moment, in which everything that is both drives and is hidden from itself. In other words, we need the most powerful telescope, that of polished utopian consciousness, in order to penetrate precisely the nearest nearness.”
Ernst Bloch, The Principle of Hope, 1954-59
“Instead of awakening us to new possibilities, popular art tranquilizes us; it is our aesthetic valium. Think of the examples I have cited: no matter how skillfully and shrewdly constructed, popular art always offers what we already know, or less. Popular art dumbs us down.”
from “Dumbing Down Art in America” by David Swanger. (Access it on JSTOR). I read this article three times today. Swanger articulates everything I have thought and debated through my journey into Arts Administration. His argument is powerful. I wish I wrote this article!
“The things that cannot be measured in a monetary value get cut because they don’t fit into an accounting form.”
