Will You Be Drinking Vintage or Boxed Wine?


One of purposes of this blog is to research collaborative art.

Here's something we found over at Art and Architecture.org about Rubens and Brueghel.

"some painters may discover they have a special talent for still-life or landscape or figures or whatever, and decide to specialise in that particular genre. So, a landscape specialist might get a colleague who excels in figure painting to provide the human interest, while a figure painter might call on another specialist to set the figures in scene and embellish them with other details. Second-rate artists often chose to do work in this way as a means of streamlining the production process in an assembly-line approach to making paintings."

We have been doing some collaborative projects and have found ourselves slipping into assembly line mode...our goal this month is to try to switch specialties. Our robot specialist will switch with the bird master. Junk assemblage man will switch with fancy flower maiden. We will embrace sabotage and you will drink the fruits of our labor.
