Destruction

Laurent Craste


Very skilful craftsmen, with years and years of practice, are able to elaborate china (and believe me it is not easy at all) then some idiot believing he has some talent, come up, wreck them down and it becomes art!

This man has found something! 
While his art is impressively strong and, somehow, reminding of Francis Bacon, the "painting in volume" literally brings a new dimension to reading a picture in depth. 
Certainly not his purpose or intention but I foresee there some strong hint, some new hypothese and anyway a strong food for thoughts about 3D perception.

Plagiarism



Artists: Mark Grieve and Ilana Spector
Photos: Ilana Spector

This is outrageous! 
The compression is the landmark signature of Cesar Baldaccini (1921-1998). 
Whether those so called artists know his life time work and it is plagiary or they don’t and they should (at least) learn contemporary art history.

As we all know, Art is a dirty job. 
But it becomes radically stinking whenever somebody, unashamedly steals an artist's work, claiming it as his own, speculating on the public's ignorance and unculture.

Fighting the Highly Ridiculous Art Market

A Sculpture That Perpetually Sells Itself On eBay


Artist Caleb Larsen has created an art sculpture which, when connected to the Internet, perpetually attempts to sell itself on eBay.

 "Combining Robert Morris’ Box With the Sound of Its Own Making with Baudrillard’s writing on the art auction this sculpture exists in eternal transactional flux. It is a physical sculpture that is perpetually attempting to auction itself on eBay.
    Every ten minutes the black box pings a server on the internet via the ethernet connection to check if it is for sale on the eBay. If its auction has ended or it has sold, it automatically creates a new auction of itself.
    If a person buys it on eBay, the current owner is required to send it to the new owner. The new owner must then plug it into ethernet, and the cycle repeats itself."  laughingsquid.com

Art is in the hands of merchants.
Totally.
Artists live in a fourth-world economy pattern with absolutely no solidarity, no union, no protection, no rules.
Marketing and/ or business education do not belong to art schools' teaching. Never!
Nobody cares of course.
This project makes a dent in that state of fact, proving this unacceptable situation can be fought.
Please support it!

"250 men and women asked to draw how several emotions felt in their bodies. These are the combined results. Very cool."

Wonderful cocktail (pun intended) of light, motion, shapes, and...colors! All make Jackson Pollock's art look like a drunken chimp's.

Drawings under the influence of LSD

Since the 60' and regarding different aspects of art, influenced by the then recent psychology, a specific interest for "altered states" emerged. To be or not to be under the influence when creating (definitely not when driving) is an open debate...
