March 12, 2008: uniforms and dress
The artist dress code hasn’t changed much since I was a student in the 70s. Functional distress: jeans, and t-shirt, black jacket. No overt preoccupation with fashion- it is understated and understood. No brands. We are democratic levellers, anyone can assume the outfit and look like an artist, but that doesn’t make you an artist. So what makes you an artist?
