What the fuck is this!? Sometimes I give a shit and sometimes I don’t. I just got outta work so maybe I just don’t give a shit right now.
Is this the next step in art?
Okay, let’s do a quick timeline, and I don’t think this is at all accurate so don’t fuckin’ bother me about it, BUT! Art used to be all beautiful paintings of scenery and rich people, and then (I’m skipping a lot of shit here) it expanded into different mediums like tv, design, sound, interpretative, abstract, and then there was anti-art (actually anti-art as art happened ALL the fuckin’ time and the assholes who thought anti-culture/anti-art - dada? - thought themselves to be so unique and creative were/are just a bunch of dickwads). Now, just label EVERYTHING as art - just give me money.
I’m not going to praise this but I won’t bad-mouth it a lot either. It’s a small “store,” at the above-shown location that has all this expensive shit inside that you either can buy or can’t buy. I don’t fucking know. You should read the article and tell me because I am not that interested. I was interested enough to go see the goddamned thing but I don’t want to know more about it. My personal opinion is that it’s for either dumb rich people or just dumb people.
Take a bunch of people, have them create some crap, market this bunch of people and sell their creations as limited edition consumer products, throw their shit into a hole in a wall, put some glass between you and the hole, make a website, throw some more money into marketing and BAM, you get this (and everything you ever learned about art is about the same thing).
I’m serious when I said please read about it and tell me. Here are all the links I swiped off the site:
New York Magazine: Wallpaper Magazine: Core77: mocoloco: notcot: ZOOMZOOM
$$$ ka-ching $$$
Why are people praising this? Yeah, sure, maybe they’re taking a risk, maybe it’s an incredible concept, maybe they’re full of crap.
Thanks for visiting. Have a nice day! And yeah, that’s me in the video. Now you know how I look like from the back. Don’t fuckin’ bother me.
