Seems now, with 20/20 hindsight, like much ado about nothing….

Thanks Amy.

Bludgeoned to death with hacking at art theory & history, gasping for air amidst such irrelevant lecturing.Over & over again. Start a book club or weekly review already.
Really.We GO to lectures, consciously, pay for them, talk about them.Host lectures.

Not even an ounce of harmony, or a sense of our fully diverse fabric of reality, of which we all submit to, which is why it is likely you saw so few at the plaza.

I suggest you all make your blog exclusive & shut it off from the public, this sounds exactly like what you need, set up a password so ONLY certain fish may post.THEN prove to the world what you have intended to prove through bashing skulls into barbed wire & post your amazing results to the public!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!At least you won’t be scaring all your seemingly wounded “retarded & idiotic” (lovely terms by the fish) readers away. Secrecy & mystery gathers attention too!
Enough with the whining about anon- anon has a VAST history of which we are NOT the architects. merely observers. merely observers.
You might have gotten a little creative, inviting all of us to arrive with polished butchers cleavers & canvas aprons, a cam corder & something ridiculously unpractical & or practical & extraordinary to express, truly, in favor of the beauty OF the absurd.

Discord, takes comprehension of it’s mechanics, planning & how it may or may not facilitate authentic change.

A full awareness & sensitivity to think, to then enter into desire, which in turn compels one to trust in something tangible, alive & vital.

Many , not all, involved in the arts WORK (in every sense), IN the arts, thus, those that work hard in the arts, inevitably, have some financial or social successes that one may create & utilize as questionable spectacles. In this instance, undermining any sort of thorough & completely- ( if it must be, BRUTALLY ) honest, contextual exploration, of the realities at work, the times, of anything for that matter, etc.
& people have always bought ANY ART THAT THEY WISH.

If someone wants to buy what one may view as bad work, there is nothing one can do about it & insulting artists is very provocative, but do it in the nude, to their face, brandishing clips, & whips.

We like to read about interesting collectors, they exist as well.

A hypocritical gang running in circles of lackluster & obvious patronizing rhetoric.

So, why not just, get creative.Realistic.
Depending on the individual these two simple qualities have been known to succeed on occasion.
In hand with decently consistent sincerity, even greater the odds, that is if one does not wish to enter into success via corruption & lies, abuse & belittling of human beings.
With issues regarding the environment & an end to this war & the tremendous horrors in Sudan, Africa & let’s not forget Joseph Kony, etc, i could go on & on. The era of big fish and krill is OVER. A good suggestion. Over. Done. If anything have a sense of humor. American psycho.

I am surprised i even read this, & it’s safe to say no one in their right mind could possibly imagine reading this in it’s entirety.
Who’s magnificent brain are we trying to pick any ways guys?

The individual or “being” who i found the most lucid & interesting, is William Conger, i suggest following his lead once in a while & again, as to ensure “art” discussions that may be worthwhile.He is engaging, regardless of what anyone has to say about his personal life & career, choices, human existence, it’s a fact, he is engaging & interesting.

No small feat when you are a human being.
If anything, humbling ourselves, is surely a way towards improvement.
Try your hand at being fiercely humble, see where it gets you.This is suggested for all of us, the mad, living & deceased.Just the attempt, is magical.

& i like overly polite in some instances, one garners a great deal when in the presence of individuals with their own unique brand of being anally overly polite. & Conger does not remotely seem overly polite.
& I am also not alone in that i like a certain kind of ass hole, i like a certain kind of unforgivable bastard that has such outrageously & amazingly high concepts of thought &/or belief & morality, especially the ones that are HONEST.& why are they honest? It benefits the sorts of results that they seek in their lives. & it takes tact to get away with being an interesting & pleasant ass hole to be around. Craft.

All the generalizing, & all these diatribes simply amount to wandering self interest & an inhumane, cold & uninspired attitude to art.Which could be interesting for a WEEK & with several anomalies of context.
So rarely breached in ANY ART WORLD.
It happens & when it does it is an awe, for all of us, a life altering thrill & a reality that does not manage, to take place- here.
Try not to take it for granted.

What’s the problem with just buying things like good paintings or photos or sculptures or installations and putting them up, rather than insisting on bureaucratically-pleasing site-specific-justified art (which usually is not really contextually specific, which is far more important)? I love to do things site- and contextually specific, but most Kunst am Bau is only nominally so, not truly so.
