Beep Beep's State of the Art Address
Beep Beep's Mark, Steven, and James
James (of Beep Beep Gallery) posted a long rumination on Atlanta’s current “indie” art scene last Friday:
People are always asking us about the economy: “So how’s art business in this economy?” or I bet people aren’t buying art in this economy?” Yeah it’s true times are definitely rough for all of us in the arts, but who gives a shit? I’d definitely like to have more money to spend on repairs, advertising, a mailbox etc, but that wasn’t the reason we or any of the aforementioned galleries got into this biz. A lot of them hung it up to change cities or focus on their art, music, whatever. That’s the beauty and tragedy of my favorite kinds of art spaces: it’s all out of love, the love of art and the love of connecting people to it. The only real struggle is keeping things interesting so that the love doesn’t get stale or get in the way of your life.
