Los Angeles ebusuku.UDavid McNew / Getty Izithombe Ndingacalucalula. Ndibe nelona hlabathi liphezulu xa kusiziwa kwimfundo yobugcisa; Ndaye ndafunda kwisikolo sobugcisa benkululeko sase-East Coast nesebe lezobugcisa elomeleleyo elingaphandle kweSixeko saseNew York. Emva koko, kwisemester yokuqala yonyaka wam wokugqibela, ndaya ngasentshona kwinkqubo yotshintshiselwano lwasekhaya kwesinye sezikolo zobugcisa zenkulumbuso zase-Southern California: iZiko lobuGcisa laseCalifornia, a.k.a.CalArts. Nangona kunjalo, kubafundi abaninzi ukutshintsha-tshintshana konxweme ayisiyiyo inketho, kwaye ukulinganisa i-pros kunye ne-conservizing ukubeka phantsi iingcambu kwi-East Coast emhlabeni wobugcisa obuzinzileyo okanye ukubetha kwindawo ye-West Coast ekhula ngokukhawuleza sisigqibo esinzima.
Ke, ndithe ndakuva ukuba iiCalArts zonyule uRavi Rajan njengoMongameli olandelayo, ukuba aphumelele uSteven Lavine ohlonitshwayo, ndavuya kuba ndafumana ithuba lokuthetha nenkokheli entsha yesikolo malunga noko kwakutsala ubugcisa behlabathi ngasentshona.
Ukutya kokucinga: INew York isenazo izixhobo ezininzi zokubonelela abafundi, ezinje ngeMetropolitan Museum of Art, iMyuziyam yaseBrooklyn, iigalari zaseChelsea kunye neeveki ezimbini ezifanelekileyo zobugcisa, ukubiza nje ezimbalwa zeasethi yayo. Kodwa iCalifornia ijongeka intle kwezi ntsuku. IiMyuziyam ezinje ngeGetty, iSan Francisco Museum of Art kunye neLos Angeles County Museum of Art ngamaziko encyclopedic anokufikelela kwihlabathi liphela. Kunyaka ophelileyo, i-SFMOMA ivule ukwandiswa okukhulu kwenqanaba elinemigangatho eli-10 ukulungiselela ukuqokelelwa kwengqokelela yayo. Kwaye ngo-2018, i-LACMA iceba ukuqala ukwakha kwi indawo entsha yeenyawo ezingama-368,000 . Kukwakho nenyaniso yokuba inyathelo elithandwayo le-Getty kwilizwe liphela lePacific eliMiselweyo lisungula ushicilelo lwesibini kulo nyaka, kwaye kunjalo, uluhlu lweegalari kunye namagcisa ahamba okanye avule indawo yesibini (iDominique Lévy, iMaccarone kunye neHauser kunye neWirth) zigcina nje. ukuba nde.
Ke, yintoni eyona nto inkulu ngeCalifornia, onokuthi ubuze? Sibuze uRajan ukuba acinge ntoni. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, kungekudala uza kuyishiya iNew York esiya ku-L.A. ngokwakhe. 
URavi Rajan.Umncedisi weBalarama
ICalArts liziko elikhetheke kakhulu. Ngoba?
Kukusungula amandla yenye yentsebenziswano kwaye ke yazalwa ngomzuzu apho isikolo sobugcisa iChouinard kunye neLos Angeles Conservatory of Music bobabini babetsala nzima. UDisney, owayenonxibelelwano kubo bobabini, wangena wathi 'Kutheni singayenzi le nto ingenamsebenzi siyidibanise yonke kwaye sibone ukuba kwenzeka ntoni ?,' kwaye ndicinga ukuba amandla okuseka ayanceda ngokwenene ukuchaza indawo.
Isikolo sihlala sichazwa phakathi kweendaba ze-U.S. Kunye neeNgxelo zeHlabathi zezona zikolo ziphambili zobugcisa. Yintoni enye eyenziwa yiCalifornia, ngakumbi iLos Angeles, enikezela abafundi bobugcisa?
ILos Angeles yahluke kakhulu, kwaye ndicinga ukuba iyanceda, kodwa luhlobo olukhethekileyo lokwahlukahlukana. Ukungathethi ukuba iNew York ayikho, kwaye ndiyazi ukuba kungenxa yokuba sihlala apho, kodwa yahlukile… Babhiyozela umohluko wabo ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo. Ikratshi lelifa lakho kunye nokubonakala okwahlukileyo kubonakala ngokwahlukileyo kakhulu eCalifornia kunaseNew York.
Iindleko ngokubanzi zokuhlala eLos Angeles zikwabiza kancinci kunaseNew York.
Ndiza kuthi kwinqanaba loqoqosho, ngokwenene ngoku kwaye ngalo mzuzu, kulula ukuthatha umngcipheko kwaye wenze impazamo kwaye usilele kwaye ingabi yintlekele kuwe eLos Angeles kunokuba ibiseNew York. Ndicinga nje ukuba kuyabiza kakhulu eNew York. Uninzi lwabafundi endibabona bephumelela bachitha ixesha labo elininzi behlawula amatyala abo. Kwaye ndibona abafundi abaninzi bephumelela kwaye bengayi esixekweni kwaye benyuka, umzekelo, baya e-Hudson nase-Hudson River Valley, besithi, 'ndikumgama omde.' Bachitha ixesha elithile edolophini, bayila zonxibelelwano zabo, emva koko baphume baphume.
Ngaba iCalifornia yindawo elungileyo yamagcisa emva kokuphumelela?
Kukho ukuvuleka kokuzama kwaye uzame izinto ezintsha. Imithetho ivakalelwa ngakumbi ngakumbi eNew York kunokuba yenzayo e-LA, kwaye ndicinga ukuba abantu bacinga ukuba yinto elungileyo kwaye imbi.
Njengoko ilizwe lobugcisa liba lihlabathi ngokubanzi, kubaluleke kangakanani ukuba kusekwe kwiziko ledolophu?
Inye into endifuna ukuyigxininisa apha, kwaye sinencoko yasekhaya ikakhulu, kodwa eneneni lo mzuzu awukhawulelwanga eMelika. Ndicinga ukuba siza kwindawo engaphezulu kwencoko yehlabathi, kwaye kubugcisa obubaluleke ngokwenene, kwaye iUnited States lilizwe labafuduki ngokwenene. Yindawo apho sonke sinamabali, kwaye amabali ahluke kakhulu. Imisonto yethu yamabali yabelana ngezinto ezahlukeneyo kwaye iyahluka kwaye inokuninzi okunokukwenza neenkcubeko zamanye amazwe kwihlabathi liphela. Ingakumbi yencoko yehlabathi ngoku-ngakumbi kubugcisa.
Kutheni le nto amagcisa ekhetha ezinye iidolophu ngaphezulu kweNew York?
Inento yokwenza nenkcubeko yesixeko ohlala kuso kunezoqoqosho. Ndicinga ukuba kukho into elungileyo nalapho, ayisiyozoqoqosho kuphela. Ndicinga ukuba iNew York ayikaze ibe yindlela ecothayo yobomi, apho ikhoyo i-Hudson Valley, kwaye ke abantu abakhetha olo khetho mhlawumbi yayingengabo abaya kukhetha ukuya eNew York okanye eBerlin-ndiyakubona okuninzi oko. Yonke into endiyithethayo kukuba abantu banokuziva bephuthuma ngakumbi okanye benyanzelekile ukuba banyamezele isixeko esikhulu kwaye andazi ukuba kunjalo [okanye], okanye ukuba kuya kuba njalo na ukuya phambili. Ndicinga ukuba amagcisa akwiindawo ezininzi ngeendlela ezininzi. Ndicinga ukuba okwenzekileyo bubugcisa obuye babekwa epokothweni kancinci. Ukuze ubugcisa buhlale bufanelekile kuye wonke umntu kufuneka siqiniseke ukuba bukhona kwaye buphila kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo, kwaye xa bukhona abantu bayabuqonda njengobugcisa.
Ke loluphi olona nxweme lolona lulungileyo?
Ngeliphandle, le ndiyithethayo andazi ukuba iWest Coast okanye i-East Coast zezona zilungileyo. Andiqinisekanga ukuba iNew York okanye i-LA zezona ndawo zibalaseleyo emhlabeni. Ndicinga ukuba kunzima ukuthi kukho eyona ndawo ibalaseleyo emhlabeni ngoku… Ndisabona amagcisa aselula amaninzi eshiya, esiya eFiladelfiya, esiya phezulu, esiza kuNxweme oluseNtshona, esiya eBerlin. Ndicinga ukuba yahlukile nje, kwaye baya kuzo zonke ezo ndawo. Abayi nje eL.A.
