"Exactly, Bogus, I wanted to know what you think" about what, Enea?

I fully agree with ajeje's recent statements. Fontana's cuts, or Manzoni's shit, cannot be evaluated with the same aesthetic criteria you use to appreciate Caravaggio, because they are two completely different languages. Guys, wouldn’t it be better to keep talking about the CCCP??

"Nobody does something they consider 'ugly' on purpose," are you sure, bro?
"You said that for 100 years art has stopped being concerned with beauty," it's neither a condemnation nor praise, just a simple observation of a given fact.

I didn't say, Enea, that art and beauty clash in every case. I merely reiterate how languages have evolved over the last century and that the artist is an important litmus test of the reality around them. Then, one can do whatever they want, of course...

I find it quite important for an artist to read their own time through the tools that suit them, and that every work is, in a sense, a child of its time: an album like "the velvet underground and nico" (just to pick one) is indeed a timeless masterpiece in the sense that it has something to say to anyone, anywhere, regardless of their sensitivity, but it is a work born from those parties, that atmosphere, those experiences. Can you imagine how Jerry Garcia would have sounded in the drabness of a Thatcherite England?
Or what the Smiths or Joy Division (just random examples) would have done under the acidic sun of California???

josi... I'm reminded of the sheep cut in half by Damien Hirst (stuff from '95 by the way). I find them beautiful.

By "a hundred years" I was referring to the emergence of a figure like Duchamp, to the consequent shift in values that make a work of art what it is, as well as to the renewal of the criteria by which it must be judged. Traditional aesthetic criteria can no longer be used to evaluate a conceptual artwork. Guys, we are in 2005.

of everything that surrounds it. If you look at the history of art over the last 40-50 years, the figure of the artist is nothing (so to speak) more than a catalyst for external stimuli. Art metabolizes what is around it: the social, the political, the contemporary. Of course, in the end, there is a form of beauty in all of this, but it is derived from an infinite range of sensations that a work can evoke, including disgust, repulsion, boredom.

"Beauty from an artist"... I wouldn't want to tell you, dear Josi, but it's been over a hundred years since art has stopped being concerned with beauty.

Regarding the secularism of artistic expression (I hope vegetarians and those who would prefer consistency within a forum won't take offense), this report to the digos seems alarmingly DEMENTED to me.
