Hypothesis 1: You’re sold. What you would do to get a studio, a pension, exhibitions, teaching positions, grants, travels, honours, and recognition is simply amazing. You would trample your fellows (after all, if they’re not happy, they can do the same). You would betray the ideals of your youth. You would come on terms with the worst political circles. You would produce any kind of shit if it’s the kind that sells.
Hypothesis 2: You’re not sold. You refuse to trample your fellows. You refuse to betray the ideals of your youth. You refuse to come on terms with the worst political circles. You refuse to produce any kind of shit because it’s the kind that sells. Then, you have three options. Option 1: good luck to you, life won’t be easy. Option 2: it’s just frustration. As soon as you will be properly addressed, you will forget this independent crap. Option 3: that’s your stance. Unfortunately, it has become a trendy one.
Guys, if you have a third hypothesis, you’re most welcome to share it with us.
