[Jandek] Re: jandek Digest, Vol 58, Issue 44

[Andrew Harper]

Hello list

just quoting this :

"Also, to separate the art from the artist is what academics do, i.e.
academic "artists" operate outside of there own lives, hence the lack of
emotion and feeling in their art. "
(Tom Lackey - post to list April 2)

I feel this is something of a bizarre statement and would ask what such a
comment is based on. I don't understand what an academic artist is.

Really need to post about Hobart Friday ....
