Artsy Fartsy ppl stink...

The art scene is just full of it these days... Caught the news the other day... there was this chinese-caligraphy-art-exhibition thingy going on... Apparently a bunch of so called chinese caligraphers were exhibiting their 'modern chinese art'... It was just black paint splashed on white paper! -_-" These days... you can just crumple a piece of paper, stick it to canvas and pass it off as a masterpiece... In the exhibition, they gave live demonstrations of their 'art' in the making... They got models to spin around as they smeared paint on them... wth... my grandpa could have done the same... dip brush in paint... raise brush to model's while sarong... dip brush in paint... shake head and giggle at how dumb this is... It was totally absurd! Anyone in his right mind would consider it utterly ridiculous... bet those so called 'artists' are just a bunch of losers who got the brilliant idea of staging that crap in the name of modern art so they could rip off all the lame brained rich art collecting fags who are so easily influenced... they're like shoppers who just go for brand name and disregard quality... can't believe those con artists actually got media coverage… what’s worse is that they got kids in the act! They got a bunch of kids to try their hand at modern Chinese art… they got them brushes and the paper and just let them go wild… have you any idea how much damage you’re inflicting on those kids minds? You’re teaching them post modernity or whatever philosophy’s the rage now… and at such a young age they’ll grow up with the understanding that one can be successful without working hard… bet if you swapped the kid’s work for the ‘masterpieces’, none would notice… What’s wrong with people these days? We’re just bending our mentality to accept all this rubbish for the sake of being accepted by the western society as a ‘modernized city’??? We don’t HAVE an art heritage! We’re just starting out!… They had dudes who climbed ladders to paint ceilings of churches… they had dudes who painted, sculpted and invented at the same time… they have sculptures with limbs falling off… wait till the merlion requires concrete surgery and then we MIGHT have the slightest reason to consider it part of our art heritage… but meanwhile, come up with something worthwhile to even take a glance at… those dudes in the west who come up with all that post-modern-expressionist-crap are probably well aware that their country’s capacity for proper art appreciation has reached it’s limit and have resorted to brain washing the richer upper class into believing they’ve found a new form of eye candy that’s fit for showing off in one’s living room… It’s such a twisted but lucrative scheme… it’s easy too… you get born into an affluent influential family (first part involves a whole lotta luck) …. Then you get some diploma in art… doesn’t matter where you graduate from… but judging from your background, it ought to be some big shot artsy fartsy school… unless you’re some blatant imbecile who can’t tell a paintbrush from one of those bbq buttering brushes… Then after all that hard work comes the easy part… you get your rich-influential-public speaker of a daddy to hold some fancy banquet to unveil a collection of your finest art pieces done just 15 minutes prior to the banquet… he manages to fool them into believing that those coffee stains at the top and bite marks at the corners are all part of the masterpieces… they buy a few pieces coz… 1) They think it’ll make em look ‘down’ wit the other millionaire art fashion dudes… 2) They wanna show off their spending power to some chic at the party… 3) The retards actually think the shit might go with their living room/s… after all THAT you make it big… unless of course u can’t keep up with the great demands of being a modern artist… all that spilling of coffee and canvas biting sure is taxing…
