AND THE EMERGING ARTISTS ARE...
SD-Art Prize: Not since the Bush administration have we seen more white males over 40 giving unregulated opportunities to their cronies. …and for some reason people think San Diego is conservative?
"…Baldessari, at a time when he certainly didn’t need to do it to support himself, took up a post at UCLA, which he only recently ended. “I think it’s selfish,” he says of a teaching career that is in fact defined by generations of artists who count him as a generous mentor and a major influence. “I get a lot out of talking to young artists. You know, they’ll be the first to tell you you’re full of… you know, they’re not your peers, and they’re the future, so it’s interesting just to hear what they’re thinking about. And what I give back is that, I think, I’m pretty adept at helping students to get to where they want to go faster."
