Didn&#x27;t know anything about that Serrano fellow until now, nor about those two funny chaps, Gilbert and George, but after seeing their works suffice is to say that their work is pure and utter shit, and I&#x27;m pretty sure they&#x27;d take that as a compliment.<p>The problem with art nowadays is simple: it doesn&#x27;t speak to us, humans, it doesn&#x27;t help us through depression, it doesn&#x27;t accompany our joys, it doesn&#x27;t make us dream, hope, imagine the future, have nostalgia about the past, it doesn&#x27;t help us with any of our human feelings. Like the OP said, it&#x27;s an incestuous thing (or &quot;intellectual masturbating&quot;, as one of my friends would say), with some stupid multi-millionaires and billionaires mixed in this whole thing who provide the funding.
