WHERE ARE WE NOW? HOW DID WE GET HERE? WHERE ARE WE GOING? AND WHERE DOES CLAY FIT IN? By Jerry Saltz
Something on the scale of a paradigm shift is in the offing. Until Trump the art world lived with the positivist idea that things progress, get better, twisted flaws and all. The old saying about the long arc of history bowing toward justice was true. Obama felt like grace; Hillary Clinton was going to solidify something. All this is out the window. Our inner-flags fly at half-mast. So where does this leave art? And clay? That's like asking "Where does that leave love?"
Artists have always lived on the edge of the village - poor, neglected, commiserating with one-another, optical shamans transforming the world in mythic, mysterious, complicated, crazy ways. Even breeching the infinite. With everything out the window everything is possible, up for grabs. Even the old structures against clay, craft, and other disrespected materials and processes: All of that will seem small minded in the face of this now world.
Artists are already doing what they've always done: Going back to work. A lot of the old walls are down. For the moment. Now is the time to act. This is the crucible of a new generation. We are all voodoo children.
I'm totally addicted to watching and listening to his lectures. Can't get enough.
Love this guy. He creates breathing room for me as an artists and reminds me just how much I love creating
LOVE Jerry. So funny, authentic, smart, honest. Rare. And time? I must be raging success!
37:28 Max Ernst was Pollock's inspiration on the DRIP. Ernst had rigged up a can with a hole and attached it to a string above his canvas and let it drip randomly over the entire surface.
This is a nice man, an entertainer but like all non practicing artists of significance, people (critics) see the present through a review mirror - the only important thing for me is that they don't get it wrong on the historical facts.
He never explained why he stopped visiting studios - what a shame for him to miss out on that experience.
I love his "stop the envy" proclamation.
I miss NCECA already. Glad I could have made it to this one.
Honesty
Fresh air
Compassion with strength.
I like myself even when no one gets what I do.

Art critic as stand-up wannabe. How much useful information has been conveyed here? Some might be charmed by this schtick but it's just vanity and untrammeled ego.

Jerry likes to portray himself at every opportunity as a anti establishment figure. A former truck driver with no education, but a champion of Artists. After following him on Instagram I found him to be quite different than he appears. I thought his comment section was a place to discuss Art, and theories about Art. However if you engage with him to discuss Art he lashes out at you in what can only be described as a petty vindictive tirade.
Out of the blue unprovoked He said I will go to my grave never having made a real work of Art. Yes this is the real Jerry Saltz don't be fooled by his phony persona.
Yes I was a victim of that as well.
I said criticism the other day on instagram on his page and he blocked me. First he liked my one comment, then the second comment I made he blocked me. I’m like what the fuck!?
Not only that. Have you seen this mans art? It sucks! How this man can critique art, and be the best at it and suck at art is beyond me.
