But remember the enablers: those privileged with money who use it to buy what they perceive to be prestige. Like so many things, they're market driven and stupidity endorsed. Meanwhile, back in real life, someone needs to work two full time jobs just to barely feed their family.

In what way is he right ? He is simply insulting for sake of being insulting. He does not like what Marc linked to and by extension, good for OG, there are tons of artists I don't like their artwork, but I just don't go out and be insulting and dismissive of their career and work portfolio.

:confused: I don't get it, he digs a hole, then sits / stands in it and that's "art"? By that definition we are all artists, I'm pretty sure we all at one point during our lives did that (at the beach, during renovations, ...) I'm sure it's me that doesn't understand the profound meaning of this...

I agree with Griff. IMHO, this is not art, this is a colossal waste of time and human effort.

Some guy once put a urinal in a museum[^] and called it art. The worst part is that, in artistic circles, it's a highly esteemed work of art. And what about John Cage who sat on stage, behind his piano, and did absolutely nothing for a good four minutes[^]. Said he "composed silence"... As it happens I have a bachelor in Common Art and Cultural Sciences. The bachelor is pretty cool (it's about "what is art", "what drives artists", "how does art shape society and/or vice versa"), the arts not so much :)

The problem is that we are (collectively) rich enough to be able to support such wastes of oxygen without counting the cost. In some cases, such support even comes from the public purse! In earlier times they would never have found patrons, and would therefore have either starved in their garrets or had to work for their livings.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

But the portfolio of an artist has to display his level of skill and training, not just (what some might call) brainfart ideas to make money for nothing. If a painter, for example, can't paint a skillful and admirable realistic representation of a [whatever], then he is not the person to paint it in abstract, and should be scorned for doing so. It's like, I can play the piano badly, and that might get a few giggles because I'm a nobody where pianos are concerned, but if a master pianist intentionally plays badly, it's hilarious. And if he intentionally plays eccentrically, to invoke unexpected feelings, then it's genius; but if I piddle about with the keys and invoke unexpected feelings, I don't call it art, because I don't have the skill, knowledge, or ability to back up such a claim. You have to master a craft, before you can expand it.

Some people couldn't have a genuinely original thought if they were left to do nothing but try for twenty years. Plenty of people are willing to say that every mindless, pointless idea they have is great and creative, though -- especially when other people later see meanings in the "work" that the "artist" hadn't thought of.

In about every single word. But that's my opinion, you're of course entitled to your own.

I disagree, he's simply calling a spade a spade. I just hope the "artist" paid for the travels himself or had a sugardaddy paying it for him.

I believe it's called "con-art". I's closely associated with con-stipation (for the victims) and con-vict for the perpetrators).
