in reply to TylerGreenDCOlympia Lambert: @ Dunno about that. I think curatorial decisions are based by Deitch much more on conflict, and I wouldn't be surprised 4 an invite

in reply to PowhidaWP: @ that'd be the easiest way to absorb my critique back into the market. Institutionalize it.

TweetDeck in reply to hragvWP: I wonder about Deitch's relationship with Eli Broad ie, major source of MoCA's 3.5 million fundraising effort
about 7 hours ago from
TweetDeckWP: I think we have seen the end of the critical period of post-modernism. Commercialism is an aesthetic.

TweetDeckTim McCOOL: Commercialism was like a founding principle of pop art tho, should be used to it by now RT @ RT @ Commercialism is an aesthetic.
about 7 hours ago from
BrizzlyWP: @ Pop Art had a critical element; how it reduced subjects to a series of signs of celebrity; acceptance is different from recognition

TweetDeck in reply to tmccoolWP: @ I'm talking about the celebratory nature of this new mercantalism, as one collector I know calls it.

TweetDeck in reply to tmccoolArt Fag City: @ how can commercialism be an aesthetic?
about 7 hours ago from
Tweetie in reply to PowhidaWP: @ It's not a visual or stylistic thing; perhaps a philosophy of luxury or a lack of internal criticality
about 7 hours ago from
TweetDeck in reply to artfagcityAvierkant: @ Post-modernism always went hand in hand with both critique and commercialism. Maybe a period of int. lethargy but nothing's over
about 7 hours ago from
TweetDeck in reply to PowhidaWP: @ I agree that nothing ends; but it changes you'd agree? Lethargy is apt
about 7 hours ago from
TweetDeck in reply to avierkantWP: @ I'm also probably being very reductionist in the face of MoCA's decision; it's a feeling and an affective response
about 7 hours ago from
TweetDeck in reply to artfagcityWP: @ and maybe it's when the brand becomes the art itself
about 7 hours ago from
TweetDeck in reply to artfagcityNic Rad: @ 'Lack of internal criticality' is a mind fucking phrase. It actually stings to think about it.
about 7 hours ago from
TweetDeck in reply to PowhidaWP: @ sorry. "internal criticality" was always the bridge between Modernism and post-modernism for me; formally and conceptually
about 7 hours ago from
TweetDeck in reply to NicRadAB: @ @ I think the responsibility should be on the artists as well, to redefine what art means and how we acquire and show it
about 7 hours ago from
TinyTwitterWP: @ it's probably the most central aspect of my art; how we acquire and value it. I'm not doing enough

TweetDeck in reply to avierkantNR: @ I think I'm in love with the idea of something tht lacks internal criticality. It sounds blissful. Wld you call that commercial?
about 7 hours ago from
TweetDeck in reply to PowhidaWP: @ Yes, I think we're talking about commercialism not as subject or influence, but a methodology that isn't interested in criticism

TweetDeck in reply to NicRadNR: @ in the trite 'eternal sunshine on the spotless mind' vein. I'm wndring if it's possible for anyone to create w/o criticality.
about 7 hours ago from
TweetDeck in reply to PowhidaWP: @ Sure, it's called mannerism or period art where convention trumps criticality.

TweetDeck in reply to artbystanderWP: @ "erasing the line between commercial and academic art" Gawker nailed that one.
about 6 hours ago from
TweetDeck in reply to artbystanderAB: @ maybe an artist who typically sells for upwards of 100k should fuck everything up by selling originals for 99cents.
