This is What Contemporary Art Is To Me

Gallery's Invitation to Deface Bible Brings Obscene Response

No shit, Einstein. What did you expect when you have a group representing human perversions invite people to deface a book denouncing human perversions?

And this, people, is why I hate contemporary art with such a visceral hatred in a nutshell. When all that qualifies as art is boiled down to mere process and statement, every single bit of bullshit will be called art.

Michelangelo calls shenanigans.

  1. Let's not insult the bullshit. Kawawa naman 'yung tae ng bull. The "artwork" is a whole lot worse.

  2. This is the result of when the "Author is dead". The creature makes himself a god. The whole stupidity of this is that people think that they can simply make meaning, regardless of reality. No wonder they're so screwed up.

  3. I think this is more the case of "author / artist is god". The defacers were "artists", not audience.

    Narcissism is contemporary art's greatest sin.

  4. A spokesman for the Catholic Church said: “One wonders whether the organisers would have been quite as willing to have the Koran defaced.”

    = = = = = = = = = =

    Yeah, one wonders.

    Hitting against a religion whose members are taught to turn the other cheek can be so macho for liberals. Let's see them try that on a Koran in Iran.

    As for the organizers, they called themselves Christians. WTF were they thinking?

  5. I think the only Christians there were the ones that lent the Bible. (The MCC) The event organizers' only religion was themselves.

    As for defacing the Koran, it had better be an Arabic Koran, or no dice.

  6. "Author" referring to The Author, God. That's why the defacers now are playing god.
