Fair with Chapt 3

I will start off with this interesting quote

"an art fair is no place for an artist...artist tend to view art fairs with a mixture of horror, alienation, and amusement. They feel uneasy when all the hard work of the studio is reduced to supplying the voracious demand..."

This kind of take me back to chapter 2 on the talk about critic in class. This got me thinking being critic in class with your fellow artistic student is completely different from critic you get from the daily unartistic or artistic viewers. Like the quote states at the fair an artist work is reduce to plain supply and demand with buyers not even understanding the time, effort and emotions that went into the process of making that work. They simply just pay what the think is worth and to many artist especially myself some work are just priceless. I don't think i can even bring myself to be next to my work at the fair watching being reduce to an object. Standing next to your work according to book can "destroy" the price or worth of the art. So being next my work would make it even more of an object for sale.

"If artists are seen to be creating art simply to cater to the market, it compromises their integrity and the market loses confidence in their work"

You can never create work to please no one else but your self, this can be said for all type of art except for design. I mean as a professional designers your job is to design some that your buyer would like, so the whole point of it is to please the buyer not yourself.
