Taking it Back, 2010

Art is art. Everything else is everything else. But
over the years the name of art has been taken over by all sorts of cons like
academic humbuggers, pretend sociologists, quasi political activists,
let’s-play-anarchists, act-as-if satanists, brain stormers, slackers & practical jokers, documentary
freaks, popular-science heads, anti social – anti political – anti
institutional and anti everything -criticisers of all kinds, brats, bullies,
disc jockeys, punners, party-makers, cooks,
gardeners, interior architects, designers, commentators, anti western world -
anti human - anti civilisation and anti art self-haters of all kinds,
riddle-makers, investigators & detectives, fascists, pathological problematizers, structure analysts, destructivists,
subculture thieves, clowns, liars & fools.
I am taking it back.
