the world is still having problems with multiple discipline backgrounds for artists. where in reality allowing cross disciplines to inform what ever current work should be a great asset. artists still suffer from second guessing the art worlds critical opinion (and with good reason as exemplified above). time for everyone to get over it. and its going to have to come from the artists first. be brave and say fuck the provencal bastids! however, its important that the artist be completely up to speed as an artist to help weed out non artists with artistic ambitions who think "oh hell, i can do that". weve already discussed this on toms page under the heading of MIT electronic dudes and movie model makers. eh tom? i would just say maya lin chose to be an artist for what one would assume to be good reasons.
