I’m Not Involved With the Local Contemporary Art Scene

But I’d like to call for a ten-year moratorium on the following:

• Images of the artist huddled in a corner (nude or clothed)
• Imagery drawn from the artist’s family photo album, especially if the faces are blank or one family member has been conspicuously cropped out

(Split pomegranates as a symbol of femininity are on thin ice)

That one might just be the zeitgeist.

AHAHAHAHA you need to write a manifesto.

Images of the artist staring at you accusingly does it for me, too. Also large poster-style lettering with "hot button" words.

Nah, that’s just resting self-portrait face.
