A number of concerned people such as Katherine Sweetman and Roxana Popescu have taken the lead in San Diego to reinstating Robert Pincus.
Your thoughts and support on this matter are important regardless of your location! You can still send an email and voice your opinion! If your from San Diego, the Union Tribune has determined your city requires the bare minimum in arts and culture coverage. Robert Pincus is an essential asset not only to the city of SD but to the larger global art community. If you care at all about the arts in San Diego or any where else for that matter you must take action NOW! In this economy we can definitely count on layoff's like this in other cities. Funding is being cut in all areas of the arts and art education. Art educators, writers, grants and scholarships are all the FIRST to be targeted! Art Departments are already cautiously hanging on the back edges of the Universities waiting to be completely pushed over the side. Its time to take a stand!
Marianne and I have a long history in San Diego and support the reinstatement of Robert Pincus.
On the Fence? Prefer an artist write about art even if unpaid?
If you are an artist or writer and somehow see this as an opportunity, your acceptance or involvement would serve only to validate the UT's trivial importance of arts and culture in your community. If you want to write about art in San Diego start a publication, zine, newsletter, blog! I did! It's actually pretty easy to do! I know of a number of artists that feel an artist is better suited to write about art than someone who doesn't make art themselves. I'm not really going to debate that as I used to be on that page myself.
I will say that one whom looks at art from the perspective of history, art history can better articulate the subject's significants to the reader. In the many years of studying art I have noticed that writing often times seems to elude the visual artist and musician. One who comes from a literary background can compose for the reader what the artist composed visually or spatially. It's kind of like the importance of an art critique. To see outside one's own vision through the eyes of someone who is equally engaged. I also feel that a good art critic should love and have a passion for art and artists! Robert Pincus offered all of the above and much more! Including a love of the city in which he wrote!
