My objective that I will be exploring over the next few months will be stimuli and circumstances and the art that comes from it. One easy and obvious example of this is 9/11. The actions and the subsequent emotions produced a number of songs, movies, and pieces of art. While some were meant to manipulate emotion, most were made from emotion, namely confusion, grief, and loss.
What do you think of artwork that is produced sheerly as a commodity using events like this for personal gain? It happens quite a bit.

Cultural producers…how do you think you would fit into this category? or do you?
Does any of your artwork reflect a circumstance in your own life?
