Modern art may not require visible utter technical mastery, even though sometimes it's demonstrated, too. What I mean by mastery is the ability to produce such an oevre that checks all the right boxes, and does not check any wrong boxes. In this regard, being edgy and provocative is the right trait to demonstrate, while overstepping it and, say, showing something that can be seen as bigotry is not comme il faut. Navigating these boundaries efficiently is what I also mean by mastery.

I agree with what your saying but I believe this applies to everything in life.

From what you do at work or say to your friends to whether you break a writing rule or whether you jump a fence.

When you observe people in their element, you can tell apart the people who know know when to break rules and who haven’t figured it out.
