Joe McCarthy Memorial Library

Joe McCarthy Memorial Library celebrating 50 years of being DEAD!!!! Düsseldrof Atelier Höherweg <br />Interesting thread, I have been playing <br />with the idea of political art for my residency in Dusseldorf. <br />I decided to create a Joe McCarthy Memorial Library. <br />you can view some of the graphics and interior views on my site at <br />www.e-sinom.com/mccarthy/mccarthy.htm<a href="http://www.e-sinom.com/mccarthy/mccarthy.htm">http://www.e-sinom.com/mccarthy/mccarthy.htm</a> /> anyway i have a Republican friend of my father's who i love to bounce ideas off of. <br />I pasted one of his more elaborate responses below. <br />My point is am i willing to continue the path of political artist? <br />Do I have the finances to make work which will be ignored the minute it is taken down??? <br />I felt strongly about doing the pieces...I loved the research. <br />I have sent out proposals to other spaces and get the same answer. We do not do political work. <br />If I reframe it and call it historical. <br />then you run into others who feel like this... <br />I'm NOT really interested in lots of things. <br />Same as you, actually. You have limited time <br />for certain subjects, just like me. <br />Although the subjects are different. <br />But it gets annoying when the other guy <br />isn't interested in what we are interested in, doesn't it. <br /> <br />How does an artist who already beats his head against the wall to be taken seriously counteract indifference. <br />The Iraq war protests are a great example of the indifference.
