art and design

After 15 years in art and Design world as a practitioner, student and teacher, finally, when I hang my shoes in next five months, I walk out having no regret of ever pretending giving solutions either as designer or artist. Also, I always paid back many times more than what I drew in kind or courtesy. In other words as per the benchmarks of design solution in business, it was a flop business or loss making venture ☺. So whatever I am going to write next few days or so are only for subjective acceptance. You are welcome to accept or reject.

Let us accept, a cut here to show the thighs, a cut there to show belly buttons, a cut at the top to show cleavage in dress or a milliradian curvature at the edge of table or a colour swatch at the edge of your dining tray, a copy of tribal art on bag, or a fold on a chair as design intervention do not address a human problem but are only socio-cultural anxiety of a society manipulated, just like fair and lovely sells fairness cream.

Yes, you heard it correct, in this post-modernist world, art and design are only the sale of fair and lovely creams to a brainwashed society who are told and confused that they are Incomplete without that extra cut on a dress, possession of accessories, extra milliradian curvature on table and chair, a piece of culture on the wall, an extra line on a commode, an extra glitter and smoothness on floor tiles, an extra edge of concept or imagination and so on and so forth.

So let us start an academic critique of art & design practice and its education. Let us talk about the problematic holy grail

1. the problem of form and form as the problem.
