I’m sick of pretending I don’t “get” art: <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/ppvwby/im-sick-of-pretending-i-dont-get-art" rel="nofollow">https://www.vice.com/en/article/ppvwby/im-sick-of-pretending...</a><p>I get this art, and I STILL don’t like it.<p>I thjnk there is a sort of societal sickness where we’ve stopped making things that are beautiful and glorify humanity and instead make things which are bland and ugly and depressing.<p>And sure some post modernist can say “ha that’s what the artist is saying!”  Yeah I know.  I just think he’s saying it in a boring, ugly way.<p>The reality of this type of art is that it’s really easy to make.  Most of the “skill” required to do stuff like this is the networking required to find somebody who will pay for it.
