Post something just for the heck of it

I am terribly confused by the interaction above between belamo and otter, so I shall just post this and leave.

 
Germaine Greer says 'Hirst is a brand, because the art form of the 21st century is marketing'

Germaine is always right!

Hirst is a brand because everything is a fucking brand: it's not what you score, act, produce... it's all about what people think of you and the money attached to that value they hold of you.

Apart from that, not only Raphael or Rubens, but any artist with a minimal social acknowledgment, have been brands during the past five centuries.

Germaine Greer is just another one of those whose brains are too little for the breeches they put on, but who hold their little observations as one big package that assume others should be there to admire and even worship.

In this question, art is as irrelevant as sport or any other sort of object attached to the market value: the Achilles' heel of the Western world is the lag between the speedy hyperdevelopment of one driving component of civilization against mind of the population, even the mind of those who drive science or economy: technique and science and law and economic dynamism are too sophisticated and dynamic, ever-changing, multifarious... for those who developed them or, rather, who led themselves be led by the development of concepts and devices whose very nature speeds ahead of their ability to really understand and control them.

But we and the internet should be able to solve that problem, shouldn't we?

I do like this Rubens :)

No; you do not seem to understand that it's about each person "solving" their own particular problem, not as something coming from the outside that heals them all like Christ descending from above, or superheros saving the world.

The point of that blehblehbleh was... IS: the market needs SOMETHING, anything, to which attach a value, because even in the rare case in which they do have something as "values", it ultimately is nothing besides the real value of "money", so if a trickster comes along selling himself as something special, they will go buy it.

In fact, in Picasso's times he was already being forced to be funny and different with every new work: it is not that, after the fall of academicism, it all became open to all possibilities, but that what matters it's not a finished product anymore but a funny idea: so there you have the Hirsts and whatnots... Hirst became so overblown only because he is British and Britain has been all about financial speculation for a century and a half.

So there's that.
 
^ Britain is a nation of shopkeepers and has no real artists :cool:

(except perhaps Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Virginia Woolf)
