My Tai Qi coach once said that September 11 can also be schiotat art: it is shocking, it changed the world, this was the message and the process and even result /Offer: destroyed buildings.

That said, not only your trainer, and Karlheinz Stockhausen (who just came to celebrate - or have already honored? - On the occasion of the anniversary) a few years ago, after which the whole of Europe was a terrible noise, and the controversy and everything.

If I kill Hearst, it will create the most valuable piece of art in the world, more valuable than even a shark, cows and calves of gold, which itself sells for Hurst astronomical sums. The artwork will be the body of Damien Hirst, in all its splendor displayed in the window.

Stop, stop. There is an artistic gesture, but there is stupidity. Edge palpable, not confuse. It's like that place, I do not know, Duchamp's Fountain on some scales with a "deed" Gerostrat. The idea of "herstonenavistnika" - is the manifest failure. As with it seems ridiculous to nothing.

There I was struck by another Association. Remember five years ago came seven children's program - Teletubbies. It is quite an innocent way. And then got a wave of popular indignation, say obalvanivanie, etc. The struggle has taken different forms, one of them liked me then. There was a computer game on the internet with the name "Kill the Teletubbies". The current desire to do something with Hurst closer to this. I think either we do not understand the greatness of (face to face - face not see it) or will resolve itself as the Teletubbies - where they are now.

Bravo
And about Gerostrat: something we too often have to remember it in the context of modern art: (

IMHO level Hirst at least comparable (and for me it is even superior) Andy Warhol. The same story: some mocked, others bought. And somehow that's absorbed. Hurst will resolve not - this is a phenomenon of interest is held for almost two decades. No, no options have two legs in history.

Big doubts. Warhol was not only a great artist (I do not mean the soup "Campbell", and, say, the portraits of Marilyn or Liz), and Person, affects the whole life generation. He has worked in almost all spheres of art - in painting, and literature, and film and music (band Velvet Underground - this is also his creation!).

A Hirst ... We say simply: I do not know a single collector (and I know many, including - abroad) who would like to get Hirst. All laugh.

While the Hirst - a nice guy, ever meet, even gave the drawing! So, I need to write about his greatness, but can not: rolleyes:

You know at least one. In Gary Tatintsian is "Pink Heart" and several other works. It is not difficult to guess that Yemelyan Zakharova has several works and more on the list.
In some of the series "Back to the Future Michael J. Fox (from the future) at the American disco 1950, carried away, played hard rock and roll. The audience dumbfounded and he apologetically mumbled something like: "you seem tricky, but your kids will like
Not sure that will draw David Hurst Mikeleandzhelo, but he canceled the schedule.

It agrees with my dear qwerty, with one exception - can not call Hirst neither pleasant in all respects, or even just a pleasant (had a chance to meet), just smug plebeian.

In history, he may, and will remain (as some exhibits two-headed calves from Peter's Kunstkammer), but remain in the history of art at Hurst no chance.

There are collectors who inflated (ie, actively participating in the promotion), there are collectors who are duped (they, too, in some way involved in the promotion), but there are just collectors, and find all these dick (st) barn in the third category is useless: )

Hurst excellent switch. And why did he do something to make yourself? Oh, I almost forgot, the signature should probably put himself, and it certainly requires graphic skills.
But like it or nenravitsya and record sales of aquariums with formaldehyde in the name of his history have raised - not sotresh.
And with prices for his works will all just fine. Even if it is thrown to untwist, the principal owners are not encumbered by anything except money to sell them not to quit. Have something unfashionable but still lose in the price? But for them it's better Ubar away and say nothing. At the calculation, and builds a cunning knave, and Damien Hirst.

All right, only the calculation is based not Hearst, and those who did get the ball rolling.
Hearst - is something like Frankenshtayn, if anyone remembers the chilling story of Mary Shelley

Right now I am translating an article about Hearst and its creators (but it is long, so it will have to wait manenko).
