ARTJEDI1 🧲💫🚀
@artjedi1
“Tell Them I Said No” by Martin Herbert is a thought-provoking collection of essays that examine the lives and careers of artists who have, in various ways, resisted the conventional paths laid out by the art world. 1. Lee Lozano: An artist who, after achieving considerable success, made a radical decision to withdraw from the art world entirely. Lozano’s refusal was both a personal and political statement, challenging the structures and expectations imposed on artists. 2. David Hammons: Known for his elusive presence, Hammons often rejects traditional exhibition opportunities and the commercialization of his work. His actions are seen as a critique of the art market and its commodification of culture. 3. Cady Noland: Noland, another artist who retreated from the public eye, withdrew her work from exhibitions and became increasingly private. Her retreat is often interpreted as a refusal to compromise her artistic vision and integrity 1/3

4. Charlotte Posenenske: She quit art in the late 1960s to become a sociologist, feeling that art was incapable of effecting meaningful social change. Her exit was a form of protest against the limitations she perceived in the art world. 5. Marcel Duchamp: Perhaps one of the most famous examples, Duchamp famously “retired” from art to play chess. His decision to step away from art-making, however, was complex and layered, influencing the trajectory of modern art. 6. Agnes Martin: After achieving critical acclaim, Martin retreated to the desert, seeking solitude and a life of contemplation. Her withdrawal was deeply connected to her spiritual beliefs and her quest for inner peace. 2/3
