I seem to have an inherent problem with art. At least, I have a problem with the conventions of it. Art is a bourgeousie construct, and yet it's supposed to be avant-garde? I know there are different types, and I'm essentializing, but what the hell is the purpose of being graded on it, or selling it to middle-upper class white people? It's adhering to everything it tries to avoid. Another capitalist commodity coming out of the cultural shitter.
I was studying Dada recently, hoping to relate to something that classifies itself as 'anti-art.' But when I re-read that sentence, I used the word 'classify.' Even Dadaism cannot escape a dreaded label and at the end of the day, I would rather hang a cubist painting on my wall rather than a portrait of a dirty urinal.
