Church art exhibition includes crucified ape and black Jesus on electric chair
i was looking for news stories yesterday and came across that headline. i skimmed the article and it got me thinking about art. Art, what a racket. i don’t know if it’s always been a racket but it became more of a racket somewhere down the line when some talentless asshole figured out, you don’t need to be good to sell art, you just need a nice mouth piece. you just have to be able to talk up your bullshit to some rich asshole with money to burn. you just need to be part of a cool scene, you just need to know the right people, do the right drugs and die the right way. talent? who needs talent when you have hype? sure i appreciate the first guy who put the urinal on the wall and said, “hey you rich motherfuckers buy this.” and they did, because it blew their minds and they never thought of art like that. but that’s only effective once. there was a whole movement like that a hundred years ago, where they would put a banana and a light bulb in a bowl together and call it art. that movement right there, must’ve opened the flood gates for every swinging dick with a silver tongue and good story to make a living and get some pussy in the art world. some old art dude at a hipster party told me about it years ago over corn chips and salsa but i forgot the name of it. he also told me he liked rap and quoted public enemy, that’s the old “hip” white people’s go-to when bonding with young rap kids, PE. fight the power.
where was i, what was i talking about? i was talking about art and how’s it’s kind of shitty now. the problem is, it’s all been done. half these artists are biting off one another and half these assholes are doing this contrived, cerebral bullshit for pseudo-intellectuals to fawn over. and they buy it even though it’s shitty because they don’t wanna look like idiots. my homeboy Vaughn goes to Cooper Union in NYC, it’s kind of a big deal as far as art schools go, you need a scholarship to get in. some asshole kid in his class, his art, he retypes famous novels on his type writer and hands it in in a big stack. that’s not art, that’s some douchey teenager who got to go to all the best schools and who is now taking up a spot in one of the better colleges, masturbating. you’re jerking yourself off kid, in front of people. i’m sure he has a nice explanation about his plagiarized stack of papers, but some dude already hung a toilet on the wall and beat you to it. fuck you shit head. when i see this kid i’m gonna hit him with the hardest thing i can pick up and then urinate on him once he falls down.
then you got the shock value art like the shit above me. let’s go in a church and put a monkey on a crucifix!!! crazy!! you’re so fucking raw for that!!! here’s a quote from the article.
He said the ape sculpture was designed to get people how to think how and why primates were disappearing…..
yeah, that’s exactly what i think about when i see a fucking primate on a cross, ‘damn where have the apes been? We used to have tons of them around, but now, they’re just just disappearing…’
my home boy Nicholas told me about some performance art thing he went to out here in LA, the second biggest city in america, a cultural hot bed. this was done by people with a good reputation in the art world mind you. this chick rolls up in her car, screeches to a halt and jumps out buck naked with a bat and starts hitting the ground with the bat, screamin’ and shit. she does this for 30 seconds then hops in her car and speeds off, hitting another car. the other car getting hit was not part of the show it was an accident, but i’m sure it was the highlight. that’s their art, that’s what people came to see, that’s why her parents sent her to art school, so she could hop around naked and make her car insurance rate go up. do me a favor and die. fuck you. jumping out of shit naked is so played out. really? you’re jumping out of shit naked? wow i never seen a pussy before! you just blew my mind! i’m questioning everything i ever knew and i’m loving every minute of it. my homeboy Nude Dude did that on the side of I-75 in the winter time, just walked down the highway butt booty ass naked to squash beef with his girlfriend, that’s not art, he was just doing him.
the thing is. the shock value art doesn’t really work because nothings shocking anymore. i’ve seen it all with a little help from the internet. here’s what you gotta do if i wanted to do shock value art, otherwise you’re not gonna “shock me into thinking”: rape a black toddler whilst smashing a puppies skull with a hammer on the hood of a Hummer while wearing a clown make up and call the piece “Innocence Lost”. anything less and you’re just wasting my time.
here’s a link to my homegirls blog shedding more light on the subject a counter point if you will.
