So this guy is the latest TED speaker to blow my mind. This is an amazing project that crosses so many boundaries:
Between visual art and theatre, between satire and celebration, between the business of art and the creative process. Basically, this guy made up 100 artists, complete with names, histories and philosophies, and created individual artworks made by these imaginary artists for a biennial show for which he is the "curator". This inspires me for three reasons. First, this is the creative entrepreneurial spirit at its best. If it doesn't exist, you invent it - fearlessly, with wit, love and passion. Second, it is an ingenious way not only to make interesting art, but at the same time to examine the process by which art is made. Third, I think a lot of the art is pretty damn good. Watch this:
