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 to justify practices that
have little to do with art. Amongst them we find quite a few academic
humbuggers, a lot of quasi political activists, some let’s-play-anarchists, a bunch of pretend satanists, or brain
stormers, or slackers & practical jokers, or documentary freaks, or popular-science
heads, or 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 – and above all, the simply
confused.. to name a few.
It’s now time to take it back.
