Brief history of one of the exhibition and the controversy that erupted around

[Konstantin]

And why do we call art?
Million pathologists put the bodies in the banks and nothing. One guesses bring it to the gallery. So? Art? Genius?
Comes to mind is another example. A stout man jogs in the morning on a path in the park. From the fact that he was in shorts and sneakers, t-shirt unless someone comes up with the idea that he was preparing for the Olympic Games.
Well run and the young, health is improving. And if he is to the same drunk, how we reacted to the comments that he was a conceptualist invented a new idea of training and 50 years will be the champion.

You know, if all the time to look at the dark experiments disguised as contemporary art, then a short time and in the fall depression. Better to look at something posimpatichnee, here, for example, sand sculpture And tell me, please, they are less than "significant contribution to contemporary art?

[Konstantin]

I am happy to drive a child to such things. And so sorry that is not conserved.

To cite one example: in the case of the artist, making his drawing of sperm, it is important to the intention and that intention is outside of these categories, otherwise why not take advantage of diluted sepia (Of course, you can tell me that they feel an urge to urgently establish that any such things, grandiose, over sepia must still run in the specialty shop, and semen, pardon the expression, is always at hand, which I will answer you that this is sexism and self-interest - to be signed in the position of other and not only think about yourself, the more so recently been the subject of female artists!) - the result would be identical? It is important intention.

LCR, tickle to death. Aj spirits rose from your metaphors, thanks

Well, let's continue our review of contemporary art?

Here we have recently lamented (well, not us, I'm sorry, but in this case) that girls and women who devote themselves the fine arts, deprived of the opportunity to use one of the favorite materials of Jan Fabre (but still, imagine a session practical work on the drawing under the guidance of Fabre somewhere in the Academy of Arts, Volodya? As the poet said, is worthy of the brush Aivazovsky!) - at least without help - and even if they find a noble young man, ready to give your body the service of art (such as the cuttlefish in the manufacture of sepia, only the cuttlefish her consent is not asked), exactly - if the mother learns of the house throw.

So, I, as it turns out, had underestimated the tendency to sacrifice the beautiful half of humanity, here, read the story.

The magazine appeared at Yale University the following information:
As a thesis student at the Faculty of Plastic Arts at Yale University, Eliza Schwarz, convinced feminist, decided to create the installation to protect the freedom of abortion.
This installation was on its plan consist of a cube suspended from the ceiling, on each side of the cube provided for displaying video, and the center is supposed to paint his own blood.

In preparing his thesis student, she spent over a few sessions of artificial insemination (as it claims, all donors are volunteers and have passed tests for sexually transmitted diseases), and pregnant, each time provoking a miscarriage, collecting their blood, which are mixed with vaseline to subsequently use it as a dye.
Their actions, she filmed a video to show them on the cube.

The reaction to the appearance in the press above information was quite stormy, and the dean of Yale University, officially informed that no inseminations or miscarriage does not really exist, but her thesis project is to history, which she invented and disclosed.

But Eliza Schwartz denied Dean's version, insisting that all said it - the real truth.
Then the dean's office, in turn, dismissed its rebuttal, in response to which the student has gathered journalists and showed them videos of the above actions.

Thus, the symmetry is restored - strong half of humanity with Jan Fabre at the head is in the absolute inability to reproduce this artistic experiment.


P.S. You can find photos to serve as evidence that Eliza Schwartz actually committed acts of which she told on the Internet. I decided not to hang them - this is an absolute horror.

Your thoughts intersect with the "manifesto" Konstantin Krylov

Well, yes, if no more curses, which is tired of not less than described in the text of the techniques mentioned modern "artists", it would be much better.

Eugene, do not you think that paragraphs 11 and 14 of the "manifesto" is the best suited to the exhibition, organized by Andrei Erofeev, which is so hotly debated this forum?

[uriart]

Then we can collect all the used condoms, whom lying everywhere! Apply them on the canvas, smear crap (can be fresh!) And put in Fine Arts!
And everywhere will scream that this is because the artist expresses his thoughts?
A thought then where?
And is there any?

[Евгений]

uriart, Jura, in Khrushchev's mind a lot, I especially liked: "That I remember, we visited the Dresden Gallery" .. he is a lover of art.
And if in fact, I like you like realistic art, but with him there, and other art, well, let experimenting ... it is their right ..

[uriart]

These so-called "artists", not bring myself to call them that word! More accurate to say the word "bad."
So. In my opinion, when people can not speak universal language of art, so he, as it finds its own language. If this language does not go over the brink of a normal human behavior in society and generally accepted rules of behavior (after all, everyone knows Russian obscenities? But not all of them expressed!) Then it could be taken. But the concept or not is another question.
But critics, so to speak, who are businessmen, they exaggerate the character in their exhibits. Convincing moneybags (not endowed with a sense of beauty), which is beautiful and it is new. Then comes the purchase of such "works". And then comes the herd reflex as he is, and why it will not be me! And then the second comes across on the same bait.
And then, off they'd go!
And so it is promotion.
I think I have anything new to everybody not say. I am sure that everyone knows that gallery owners, and laugh (in a fist) above such buyers. And rejoice in the emergence of a new "artist" only because of these things are paid, and quite a lot.
Many are called, but few are chosen!

uriart, I agree almost completely .. spend time discussing "kakashek not hochetsya.Luchshe classic ..
One note: do not prohibit.
Well, if you discuss artists (such as Jan Fabre), try to explore all his work. (And not only the "worm").
