Art Insults

By Ann On

"The art in our lifetimes has continuously recycled itself under the aegis of the same people who went to the same educational establishments on the same courses in which they read the same canonical texts so they could go on and write the same articles about the same dead ideas that would lead to the same riverside art institutions mounting the same exhibitions of the same art with the same presentation of the same radical claims about changing everything."

So says the author in a savage broadside against institutional art machinery and its effects on the people who join it (and the millions more who try to) with the best intentions. Knuckledusters and wisecracks are dished out in 33 chapters on subjects ranging from biennales to victimhood to photorealism to the threat posed by AI. Art Insults is a message in a bottle that provokes managerialism in a gleeful and droll defence of the individual experience.
