Although I don't usually post to this discussion, in fear of seeming
inferior to all of you who do who have such great thoughts, I have to
respond to John Young's design-1.v2 abstract Dada
antiartbeatstreamofconsciousnessdiatribemanifesto.Bravo!
Sorry to be late in joining this. Where does the broad, multi-characteristic
raging, destructive, uncontrollable environment get acknowledged in
this prescription?
And the electromagnetic, digital, virtual, alternate reality (ies) suppressed
by the conventional mindset of get the job, bollix the job, hire low-paids to
do the work, publicize the result as rigged-pick winner?
Art, architecture, design, and culture -- what are those these days
except lock-minded rigidities, nay, villainous theological blind faiths,
aptly promulgated by mall-minded uninstitutionalized idiots and
money-brubbing gangs ever on the attack against anything or anybody
who dares mess with black-heareted conviction and its corollary,
gobbling of maximum stolen creativity with copyright, low pay,
forced-labor accrediation boards, star-systems, prize awards, and,
oh you know, the same old museum-, temple-, court-, family-fed
carrion pushed by the AIA and other vapid ditsy ass-dragging
acronymics.
It would be a "break-through," heh, to emblazen this list as anti-art,
-architecture, -design and -culture if no worse and more
offensive contrari-nomics can be anti-ed up.
At least, state the archives are not to be eternally preserved.
Minds should be encouraged to change and cast off mistakes
not venerate them.
