4 years of therapy?

Author of Sevens Days in the Art World, Sarah Thornton, states "for many art world insiders and aficionados of other kinds, concept-driven art is a kind of existential channel through which they bring meaning to their lives."

I find this statement to be quite true! Art of conceptual nature has the strong ability to encourage self reflection, especially for its creator. During my final semester of art school I decided that I may have just paid $40,000 for four years of therapy, but at least I learned how to maintain sanity by channeling negative energy into art production.
