8. art is about newness (1): - novelty, authenticity, creativity and newness: - art has to pursue newness is an Avant guard idea, relatively “new” - but how can one know something is new, one may require guesswork as well as mature judgment; recognition of innovation is usually made in retrospect. (Negus & Pickering p. 9-10) - in search for novelty is market term- which presume short-term market cycles and other new items will rapidly succeed the previous, i.e. “consumer aesthetics”- in pursuit of novelty in a fetishistic form; “compulsory obsolescence” - shortened life-span of designed products (N & P p. 10) (see more, go to my other course on “creativity”. )

On education: 1. David Mollin (2010) “The Governing of Appropriateness”. - professional ethics of art- the art school and the art world as a circulation of discourses ; “the criteria for judging work in art school is the point wher art schools a trying to judge a good artwork in the art school as closely as possible to what they consider a good artwork in the art world [...] And this is what the art school needs to do, while at the same time appeasing management, in order to adhere to and apply professional ethics of the discourse/ art profession.” (p.3) 2. Thierry de Duve (1994) “ When Form has become attitude- and beyond” in Kocur, Zoya & Simon Leung. (2005) Theory in Contemporary Art Since 1985.
