..the specialists tend now to be pariahs of art, trained and graded by the
specific criteria essential to contemporary education.. and frightened by
the potential power of the image... their relationship to creativity is
rarely one of love or obsession; they are salaried to it...  they seem
more comfortable with analysis, as if a dozen or so photographs of a
masterpiece, taken under perfectly controlled conditions in neutral
isolation, would best satisfy them... they could then destroy the original
and limit the publicUs understanding to their own photo-based analysis of
the measurable elements... you cannot be an expert in genius or in the
mystical) ...and since these experts controlled the major galleries, they
applied their standards to the Western definition of art; new generations
of artists -- cut off from the reverberations which their predecessors
had felt, thanks to their integration into society -- instead found that
the only sustained reverberations came from the experts... in the ensuing
confusion, many artists began producing directly for the museums, the
technocrats of art... that is now the dominant theme in Western art... 
	Man-made imagery revolves around the forces of fear, magic and ritual.
 A radical change in the relationship between the last two cannot but 
lead to a growth in the first. The more sophisticated the controlling images
  become, the more likely it is that individuals will seek reassurance in
  increased levels of fear. It is as if the last know refuge of visual
  imagination and fantasy had been occupied by the forces of structure. 

	| The Dead-Artist Desert Trailer-Park is located in the American 
	| Southwest Desert. I basically inherited (after paying back-taxes)
	| an isolated, derelict trailer-park which is being 
	| transformed without the interference  of cultural bureaucrats 
	| into a working resource for creative pursuits. The financial 
	| overhead is practically non-existent; intelligent applicants are 
	| told the location of the Trailer-Park and given written permission 
	| to abide there. Usually some structural and creative contribution 
	| is made to the Park during your stay. No application fees, slides,
	| or resumes are required or desired. A questionnaire is sent to all
	| applicants. Expect to receive this late summer of 1994; an 
	| electronic response is preferred.
