Just for lulz, I decided myself to google “feminist cunt art”, and apparently it refers to stuff like Judy Chicago’s “Dinner Party”, with the plates that have vaginal designs. Still haven’t gotten around to being truly interested in what blue chip art is, tho.

Juri, ah you’ve made me understand why I have the attention span of a hamster (don’t kill ’em). Thank you. I can cancel the pneumatic boob job I was planning in the name of art (ful)

Listen Iron Chic, I probably won’t, but please don’t take it personally. I didn’t mention them in order to insult anyone. It’s just that I reached my puberty on Punk Rock, and that has pretty much ruined my aesthetics as far as music is concerned. I will go to the concert with an open mind but will probably find myself questioning the point of any song that lasts longer than 3 minutes. I’m also attention-span-wise challenged.

Disgusting! reminds me of Silence of the Lambs. I guess feeding girls in a pit to fatten them up and then make lampshades out of their skin is performance art. Is performance art also a criminal defense?

Listen Juri, lay off Yes.
I did some Orlan Googling last night..
I watched this documantary once about people who have that disorder where they have an overwhelming need to cut off one of their limbs.
Turns out, all they needed in the end was anti-depressants because they were chemically imbalanced and depressed.
Apparently Orlan is getting more surgery to have a gigantic nose implanted. AND it is being paid for by the government in the name of ART.
Prozac is cheaper.

Bourgeois boredom is the most wonderful art form.

“Why did Chris Burden have himself shot? Why did Orlan have 9 surgeries to recreate herself as living art?”
Dude, why indeed! Why do I want to punch that person in the mouth for using the phrase “recreate herself” here? Why can’t I do it and get away with it by calling it art? Why is it wrong for me to think the only point of this kind of excercise is to help the artists stay self-deluded and, instead of calling the manifestations of their disorders by their proper names, they and their enablers call them art.
Intervention anyone?
Dude!
And I couldn’t agree more with annemarie’s reference to 70s Prog Rock as the equivalent of bad. A friend of mine is dragging me to go see Yes with him in December. I might survive the gig by distancing myself from the experience and pretending we’re all participating in a human installation, instead of a nostalgia night with a 60-year-old band and their 70-year-old audience pretending it’s 1972 again. Dude, why can’t I ever say NO.

Perhaps I am a blue chip artist, cause I sure as shit don’t get this DUDE. I have an MFA, and I like Kathleen, must have missed something.

I remember reading that post about Andrew Krasnow, and it made me think “This is disgusting”.

Yeah — feminist cunt art?!?! (and I didn’t know what blue chip art was, either) — I mean, Jeeze! So I could go to like, the Louvre, and say, Hey, could you please direct me to the Feminist Blue Chip Cunt Art?

Imagine all those people who wasted their time going to art school when all they needed to do was film their hysterectomy or put boogers in a Plexiglas box.
