Critique:
Eleven constructs of good work:
1. Dynamism-Work that is visually arresting and causes delight.
2. Depth-Work that is not consumed in the first look but revels more upon further viewing.
3. Contemporaneity- Work that reveals something of "the now."
4. Concept-Work that is driven by an idea and the unique expression of that idea.
5. Engagement- Work that exudes the intensity and commitment of the maker.
6. Originality- Work that contributes to the ongoing search for "the new."
7. Personality- Work that communicates something of the core of the maker.
8. Soul- Work that feels whole, complete and alive.
9. Parallelism- Work that fulfills the expectations set up by its compositional gesture and stylistic phrasing.
10. Subversion- Work that subverts the brief in an effort to explode beyond the banal.
11. Craft- Work that is well made.
wow - tall orders! how does one subvert and then explode?
