Not contemptuous , but this guy’s “art” is the type of thing that has helped alienate the common man and drove him into whichever political hands rejected these neoliberal-inspired creations.
Also, props to Serra for doing some “art” stuff for Qatar in the 2010s, the money was probably very good (which brings me to my above point).
- outop 3y agoPretty sure the existence of art made from large pieces of steel isn't the thing that "helped alienate the common man".
- paganel 3y agoAlienating art has been a staple of many past social revolutions, the “made up of steel” thing (like in this case) is just a secondary issue. But I get this guy’s appeal and I also get why his audience wouldn’t want to see it that way, it is what is, nothing that the two of us can do about it other than trying to talk over an over-increasing socio-economic wall.
- outop 3y agoCan you name some of these social revolutions? I'm genuinely not sure what you are referring to.
