So in 2007 Guillermo Vargas Habakkuk tied a dog to the wall of an art Gallery, refused to feed it and [allegedly] allowed it to starve to death. He called it “art”. Now this is not some typical “cruelty toward animals” type of blog. Everyone is doing that, I’ll have no part. This has more to do with me questioning it all.
So here’s my question:
…. .. . .. .. .. …. . . ….. .. .what?
I dont quite GET modern art. I dont think anyone does and I suppose thats the point but is this some sort of joke that everyone gets but me?
“Hey Guill, whaddaya gonna do next? Painting? Sculpture?”
“Naw Im gonna tie a dog to a wall and not feed it”
“w…why”
“…….. .. .. . . .. .fuck you”
And the worst part is, they want him to do it again next year. Yea one could say they want him to “perform this groundbreaking, controversial exhibition” again to make it sound official and somehow significant but call it what it is and it sounds undeniably ridiculous.
Can you starve a dog in a empty white room again next year?
It is becoming maddeningly obvious that you can call just about anything art these days. Im waiting for some Brit to wipe himself in a giant sheet after masturbating everyday for 9 months, hang it up in a room lit with black light and proceed to tell everyone hes speaking out against abortion*.
Art…**
This is quite similar to my confusion towards furniture these days. It seems as if the more expensive your furniture gets, the less practical it is. $500 chair with no back that makes me sit as if I have a cock in my ass or something. $400 glasses so fragile that they break when you WASH THEM (true story). But its art.
I have a co-worker who spoke of a couch she was buying for $3000. I recently got the grand tour of her apartment and encountered said couch. To my dismay, I sat down and realized it didnt even have an armrest. In fact, it had everything BUT an armrest and it even lacked general comfort as my ass didnt feel like it was being held by 3g’s.
Hey trendy home owner…where the fuck do I lean?!
* If anyone does this Im fucking suing…because I might do it.
** You just lost the game
