PISS OFF

ivan massow, former head of london's institute of contemporary art, had something quite shocking to say in last month's new statesman:
"For a number of years, I've had a nagging voice in my head telling me [contemporary art] is all hype and frequently no substance."
he went on to describe it as "pretentious, self-indulgent, craftless tat that [he] wouldn't accept even as a gift," and topped the whole thing off by saying that the art world is in "danger of disappearing up its own arse."
tracey emin has been taking the whole thing a bit personally. i don't blame her for thinking that any calling of modern art "crap" is applicable to her own work, but no need to single her out.
last year, when a piece of damien hirst's "work" was thrown in the bin by a janitor who mistook it for trash, cultural historian robert hewison said: "The truth is that ever since Duchamp declared a urinal to be a work of art, artists have enjoyed the right to declare whatever they do a work of art. Conversely, we must allow cleaners to declare whatever they do as their work."
but seriously, and sadly, massow resigned tuesday and possibly the only person with any intelligence whatsoever was driven out of the ICA. i mean, i don't want to start a big discussion about art, but i'm not afraid to say that when it comes to shit on a stick - i don't get it and i don't want to.

I agree with what you say. While it's difficult to define art - there's no denying that Damian Hirst does produce art - some of it is nothing more than crap. Literally, even. Art should be much more than superficial hype/tripe thrown together after a bottle of Absolut.

One of my roommates in college was an art major -- for one of his projects he bought a half dozen porn magazines, cut out all the naughty bits and created a huge collage. He said it was an exploration of the objectification of women. Well, yeah. He was stunned when the women in the class were offended -- he thought they would appreciate the feminist statement he was making. Sorry, what?

mmm. Art has been soiled by the quibbling over the question "what is art?" Because it is so difficult to define bastards like these modern art characters created the widest definition avalable. At the moment, via their idea of what it is, anything I do is a work of art, when it really bloody shouldn't be.
There's nothing arty about my messy bedroom for fuck's sake, or the empty teacup sitting on the counter downstairs.

On second thoughts, Emin's poop was quite a scathing commentary on the the state of art today. If only she'd meant it that way.
