Are the cultural norms of the art world stifling true creative breakthroughs? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive into Lindsay Grace's exploration of enculturation and its impact on artistic production. Grace pulls back the curtain on the culture of art critique, academic consensus, and the processes that shape how creativity unfolds. She distinguishes between innovation, which refines and builds upon established ideas, and invention, the daring leap into the unknown. How does the art world’s preference for the familiar hinder radical, groundbreaking work? Tune in as we unpack Grace's argument that stepping beyond traditional methodologies is essential for invention—and the potential for an artistic revolution when we do. Get ready to challenge your perspective on creativity and discover what it really takes to break the mold!
