'that is so disgustingly offensive that it’s hard to believe someone tried to pass it off as art. I have a mind that finds humor in lowly places, but I don’t go that low. sick!'" From the FB link to the article.
I used to be puzzled by a lot of modern art, especially the kind that was almost entirely conceptual and seemed to be communicating in some secret language that only the initiated could understand. I thought it was an intellectual failing on my part that I was unable to decode it.
Then, over the years, I became more and more convinced that there was actually nothing to understand, no secret language, just demoralization of the human spirit presented in the guise of clever and subversive art by elites who are essentially trolling the art world. It would not surprise me in the least to find out that most of it was part of a CIA psy-op.
I just kept saying "Oh, God" through this whole thing. That kid with the goat just makes me angry. This is disgusting. All of it is gross. I don't even know what to think. My brain is just stuck right there...............I have no idea, do I? I haven't been following the "art scene" like you have. I can see that there is some really horrid and disgusting work out there. I just have no idea how bad it really gets, do I? That goat was shocking to me. YIKES. I understood your upset about the "newest thing" in the art world being crap in a toilet, but I had no idea how bad it could get. This goat thing is beyond words. It really does say a lot about the artists and those who pay for their art.
I don't want YOU to feel bad. You bring light to the world. I WANT to know about this, now that I do. I hope I didn't make you feel bad for telling us. I mean, it just doesn't get any raunchier and grotesque than that little boy with his "father". *shiver. Now I have a VERY solid grip on the reality of the situation. I was mostly laughing at it to this point. NOw I SEEEEEEEEeeeeeee.
I’m used to it, I replied to John that as a fine art major I aced my postmodern classes while knowing that the teachers were frauds. I used that experience to know I would never go in that direction, I also flushed out the aesthetic mastermind of postmodernism, I devoted a chapter to him in Evolution Through Art, to his turning the definition of the sublime into pathological nihilism. His work opened and justified every postmodernism con artist. I am surprised that I could do good work consistently towards eudaemonia/happiness/meaningful states as ends in themselves. Going strong for 50 years.
And to be deepstate money laundering is so VILE. They are giving themselves a brand alright. THERE it is. That image will never leave me. THAT is them right there. Wow, they really do love to shove it in our faces, don't they.?
It blows my mind how it’s even possible for that stuff to have been on display in a museum. Who sucked what to get that stuff in there? It’s horrible and unsettling. The kind of stuff that would make me pack up my things and go home, defeated thinking that if that’s what they want, I’ll never make it. (Perhaps, as @Frater Seamus said, that’s the point.)
Thank you for keeping it real and speaking your mind about this kid of “art.”
As a 17-year-old fine art major in college, 50 years ago, all but one of my art classes were postmodern art bullshit. Everyone—the teachers, students, critics, curators, and people like lithographers were saying in chorus: “figurative art is dead.” I aced all my pm courses, while simultaneously not getting roped into it. To toot my own horn, it’s amazing I have 5 decades of work devoted to the sublime, and eudaemonia and figurative fine art in contemporary art world and CIA targeting its destruction.
The art you create actually speaks to people. Glad you made it out and have endured so long.
I majored in filmmaking in high school. That same mentality you saw in the teachers and students in your classes were the same in mine. I wasn’t as strong as you. I didn’t give in to it, I just dropped it all, considering it a club I didn’t belong in. It took me quite some time to get back into my own art, and I’m thankful for Substack and people like you for being real.

😲 I have not heard of or seen this work before. I am not a fan, having heard of it now.

@Frater Seamus Very well put. : )
Psyopp + money laundering operation.

Sorry to put you through this. We pay for it, no one actually collects his stuff, rather “institutions” fund them. Deepstate money laundering?

Writing might be the better choice. Filmmaking is collaborative teamwork and requires huge amount of funding. Writing is solo and costs only time.
