After a day of shitty weather all inspiration for this post seems to have left me.
News in that wallkandy, has ended, is just about to end, may never truly end has just reached funk towers. Do I care? Well wk is free to do whatever he wants, so to that end good luck to him. Conspiracy theorists say he's in laz's pocket because he takes photographs for his show. Yes he posted pics of his show but I never noticed an overtly positive position to the gallery, in fact I never saw an opinion in all my lurking. (Of course by covering lazs shows that was in itself a pro position and id agree).
Christ I'm bored now and that was the biggest problem with wk, little happening and mouthy know it alls, a heady concoction for popular debate.
Anyway it's time has passed full stop. Looking to the other places, the clock is ticking too. One is a glorified Market stall with continual agitation to get contributions. I can't believe anyone actually replies to the bs that's posted. I took great pleasure in deleting the comments of one particular cunt here from that place. And the other seems to have been infected by a need to be worthy, truly pointless bull shit that's choking it dry.
I think I'll just sit here venting bile amen over and out.

I used to believe the conspiracys but,If you look at WK's Flickr and you should cos it's good you'll see just how many different gallerys and shows he goes to. Those pics that are taken at Laz shows well Laz has been known to show some pretty good art, ya know? Just like I probably visit Laz more often than any other gallery, because there's more often better art to be had there.
ReplyDeleteloads of scroats take photos in lazs domain.
ReplyDeletewithout opinion it doesnt make it pro well no more pro than your blogs about his shows.
im grateful to wk for taking photos of places i cant get to and for a look behind the scenes and thousands of them have nothin to do with laz.
theres so much bullshit floating around forums and blogs like this that im not surprised hes closed the doors, who needs it.

ReplyDeleteThat only holds up a mirror and reflects the PR, bullshit, cronyism, self aggrandisement hype and censorship that dominates and characterises this very unhealthy, no actually terminally sick but on permanent life support 'scene'.
The name Wallkandy says it all though really, can you imagine referring to a an Ernst collage, a Blake etching, Braque's cubist interiors, a Fra Angelico fresco, a Boccioni portrait or a Tsung mountainscape as WALL KANDY????
There lies your problem, crap art allows instant gurus, instant experts and instant artists to flourish, displaying, producing and discussing WALL KANDY, that is deliberately shrouded and distorted in smoke and mirrors because virtually none of it will stand up to scrutiny in the context of what it is, who made it and why, when stripped back in the cold light of day seen in the light of art through the ages, and out of the rosy glow of PR.
KANDY is great when you're a kid but its full of artificial flavouring and sugar and sweeteners and makes you sick after a while, and anyone with an inkling of what REAL FOOD actually is will soon long for that instead.
Good riddance to bad rubbish and dumbed down debate by closed minded morons who need to be given the nod from Laz or POW before they dare to state an opinion on anything new, unless its a minor issue regarding one of the colourways on a Banksy doughnut print...sheep the lot of 'em ...especially as the forum is entitled 'SUBVERSIVE ART' forum, what a fucking joke...."crikey we're all mad here" posturing with their conformist lifestyles ameliorated by pretend rebellion on a bit of fucking paper....bring on the next level...actually go out into the world, learn something about real art, philosophy, poetry, literature, transcendence,protest, mysticism, music, civilisation, history, war, misery, death, the universe, then seek and ye shall find..... instead of having handed to you on a plate by these self appointed arseholes who actually clearly know very fucking little themselves except how to recognise a bandwagon and then get the best seat.FREE YOUR MINDS from this inanity.
silky is a cunt
