Hi John,
Thanks for your prompt feedback!
I appreciate your suggestion of shortening my post on our panel. I decided
to share your advice here openly so our contributors will not make the same
"mistake" like me!
It's hard to pack a dozen of ideas and viewpoints into a short email here,
indeed. I feel challenged by my posting experience on CRUMB, but meanwhile,
this is an excellent training to shape me into an efficient writer online!
So to follow up with your post:
Thank you very much for sharing your daily drawing experience. It is truly
an incredible creative process that you take on; and it's true that it's
entirely open-ended and no more time-based, with the production of a series
of objects that can be explored as both final exhibit and prototypes for
new objects' making.
Bruce has said that "it is difficult to pin down an exact definition of
'process-based art' because it is in the process of defining itself," and
"the fundamental issue is the contrast between the art object and the
aesthetic experience of this form of art."
I'd like to challenge the difficulty now by pointing out a few
characteristics that I consider part of the criteria for the definition on
"contemporary process-based art": the creative process doesn't take the
object making as the final goal, is no more time based, and the exhibiting
space is broadened to the entire human life and society.
I welcome your feedback on my points.
Many thanks!
