I made a comment earlier about galleries and art. It set me to thinking this evening. The weed Bob sold me probably helped...
So, bananas taped to walls...
I spoke earlier about Gallery Speak. Gallery Speak is that nonsense gibberish you associate w Art. Its bullshit. But its how an Artist is expected to present themselves and thier Art within the gallery world. But I dont want to talk about that. Its the piece of the Art business I despise. But it exists and whats a man to do about it?
Theres another thing. Called Studio Speak. Studio Speak is actual Art. Studio Speak is where Artists talk to other Artists. About all things Art. It might be how a drawing or painting is made. The vehicles and media, brushes. Sculptural techniques.The actual physical 'stuff'.
And ideas.
Ideas themselves are Art.
Cubism is an idea. Surrealism is an idea.
Once youve entered the world of Art, you...absolutley Must reject rules. If youre imposing a rule youre limiting your vocabulary. Its like telling a commedian theres a joke he Cant tell.
And this is why, as much as you may hate it. A banana duct taped to a wall, is in fact Art.

Well Ill be damned.
If you're speaking of value in the making of Art you've started from a bad spot. Thats the business of art. Lower caps intentional. Business is a fine thing. But it should never influence the making. The business is jewed. Making isn't, or, it shouldn't be
When I apply paint to canvas at what point does the value of the sunk cost of materials become greater than their sum?

thats why jewed art concepts are on display and genuine art of value isnt. the business has been the vector that influenced the idea as a whole. i can duct tape a banana to a wall for you.

I don't see it as any different from any other activity which currently falls under the category of tax evasion or mitigation.

Im not denying that happens. Like I said, the business of art is jewed as fuck. That is not what Im talking about.
I know its going to be an unpopular opinion around here. But to an Artist the entire thing is hilarious. From a purely Art POV There isnt any good reason a piece of fruit cant be media or the entire piece.
You as the viewer must decide if its a good piece of Art, the same as youve always had to do.

These work well together...should anyone care for some real understanding.
As well as this understanding of why nothing the jew has ever offered was actually a 'store of wealth' but is in fact a figment of their imagination brought about by their own parasitic 'definitions' of reality that the White man has been an active participant and willing partner in establishing.
