the proliferation of thoughtless creation, of art as an quotidian unskilled activity, and the corruption of the prototype of the artist are ultimately good and serve the people.
there should be a dissociation between the creation of art and capital. we should no longer consider longevity, fiscal value, and potential for monetary appreciation as legitimate reasons off of which to base artistic decisions. art pieces should no longer be stock for the elite to invest in. to divorce art from the interests of capital is to give the voice to record events and tell stories back to popular interest.
your walk to the park can be art. any way you express yourself can be art. a large part of being an artist is just saying you are one; one of our most powerful tools - recording and imprinting on society - belongs to all of us. your experiences matter. my role is to to vulgarize accepted and reified notions of western art traditions.
by injecting chaos and cacophony into these readily understood forms (readily understood by those who are steeped in the tradition, that is), a sort of reverse colonization alights.
art is political art, like other modes of information transmission, has the possibility to impart ideas into those who interact with it and beyond. through the diffusion of the idea of art as an everyday practice we can redefine artistic expression as a popular, decentralized action, removed from the concerns of elite echelons and into our realities.
the only thing required to do art: do it.

art is a scam, in the best and worst senses of the word: both as an institution, its proximity to capital, in its use as propaganda, and in the sense that a sort of pulling-the-wool-over-your-eyes is a rampart phenomenon of art presentation.if ever given the chance to use art to

every interest should be made into divesting power to the systemically excluded.

it’s something you can take part in.
do without thinking. reject academized forms. make bad art.
as a corollary to the existence of systemic exclusion, those in power want to stay in power. those in power preserve the system.
How can, through our differences and strengths (because of them!) – how can we as a group progress and move forward? How can I contribute to my immediate community, both in the studio and beyond?
