This is the result of post-modernist insanity which has been going on for decades. The idiots are not the artist but those gullible enough to buy into this. It’s beyond parody.
Btw, My dad who has an aversion to vinegar takes the McDonald pickle off the burger and throws it in the trash. Next time I’ll tell him to keep it and hurl it at something and call it art (and make himself a nice little tidy profit). 😂
This sort of thing gives great cover to Hunter Biden’s “art” and his various other activities.
The art world has for a century been increasingly infected with clownishness. The one thing we can do is stop subsidizng them. You can’t stop wealthy people from buying the stuff out of stupidity (or as a money laundering scam), but you can shut down government agencies, subagencies, and corporations devoted to the display of non-representational art. You can also insist by law that philanthropic corporations have no franchise to make grants to other corporations unless they are organized as foundations, that foundations have no book apart from making grants, and that, by law, foundations must liquidate within 60 years of their incorporation. You might also eliminate tax deductions, exemptions, and credits apart from a per person general exemption and / or a per person general credit. Curators have tested everyone’s patience to the breaking point and it’s time to close some valves here.
Have you heard about the woketardery at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago? Another amendment you could make to corporation law is to require that the board of trustees of philanthropic institutions be elected by a body of stakeholders in a postal ballot. The balloting would be supervised by the county board of elections where the institution in question was located. Stakeholders would be defined by law. For a school, it would be alumni registered to vote somewhere in the state. For a museum, it would be donors who had contributed over a certain threshold within a given span of years (and were registered to vote). It might do no good, but it might help if the board wasn’t just a self-regenerating secret society.
What’s the deal with Chicago Institute? I can’t find anything online except that the tuition is around 70k. Crikey!
The woketards cleaned out the docents because too many of them were white ladies with an avocational interest in art.
Ah yes. I recall that. Maybe they can remove the likes of Georgia O’Keeffe and Jeff Koons off their “Notable Alumni” list because last time anyone checked, both were “white”. But, they probably won’t, because it benefits them. They pick and choose their “values”.
