woke up this morning, I heard the news, everyone's striking and cameron's hair looks like pooh
that went well, so yeah, what the f u c k is going on at the moment?
posters for your kids room? I mean please, it's lydon doing a butter ad.
a £40 exploding crown that's fucking anarchy, no it's not even an interesting image, smash the state, smash your head and find some fucking good ideas
box sets, books and t shirts? Have we reached the HMV sale point of the cycle? Here's my blood stained t-shirt ring it for every last drop, fucking suck it dry. Don't even pretend there's anything else, it's enough for you to offer it to us and we'll accept.
we got politicians telling us to cut back, bankers laughing and bullshit from all angles and yet the voice of dissent is in the subways of New York recycling images, that don't even go together, whilst the Tea Party tells them their president is an idiot, what the fuck is going on?
Does anyone need a million more prints by their third favourite artist? What's the point? Give me a reason. Give me something. Don't tell me they're next big thing, the next big issue maybe. Don't feed me more bs, give me something real.
Was just reading about that Underbelly project. I have to admit at first it appeared superficially impressive, but then I realised that kind of thing was being done 30 years ago by graffiti writers. It felt raw and real back then, but upon closer inspection this latest effort looks so insipid, safe and contrived. Like an Enid Blyton jolly jape for trustfund kids combined with yet another ingenious guerrilla marketing tactic to advertise product. They might as well have just took a dead horse down there and flogged it.
ReplyDeleteThey invited the Sunday Times magazine in there to do a glossy 7 page feature. Wow, these guys are such rebels!
ReplyDeleteApparently the station was well known in the urban exploration community and wasn't that difficult to get into, but now that these artists have exposed it in national newspapers for their own selfish commercial publicity it's almost certain that security will be increased to the point where nobody will ever be able to go there again, and there will also probably be a similar crackdown across the whole subway network due to the embarrassment it's caused for the city officials.
The difference with urban explorers is that they are very discreet about their activities, which is the exact opposite of these desperate fame-hungry artfags who by clamouring for attention have now royally fucked things up for everybody else.
I made 20k today selling a load of crap so i couldnt care less about anything. Have faith ye with loads of crap, theres an arse for every seat.
ReplyDeleteThe minute the Underbelly Project was revealed it became wank. Wank to it's ethos and made wankers of those involved. Secret = cool. Public = wank. A documentary, a book? Double wank with sprinkles. It has become everything it wanted to criticise.
