Art is a Gate for the Wealthy

the fanciest of businesses, art is

the ultimate gate for segregation,
"let´s spend our money (and lots of it) in something only we care for..." someone said once, and suddenly all of us have a job opportunity, Arting about the world

if only we knew the way to dissolve this marriage between Art an Wealth, but then again, what good is it for if no one is willing to pay your rent in exchange for something that serves (lastly) as the coolest decoration ever

i wonder if it makes sense to even care for this entertainment for the mind

as long as there´s someone willing to get paid there will be "Art"

nice enough for me

Institution-ally

what is it about institutions that make people go crazy,
it´s so simple, you just have to fit, like any normal job,
somewhat people make a big deal out of doing one´s work

it´s not about the human struggle,
it´s about trying to make something that, in some freaky kind of way, tells their audience/spectators/consumers that they are right about whatever it is they are thinking about, or maybe not...

i might be getting delusional,
i´m running out of things to bark about,
i´m starting to think making collectible lies is far more important than making art, or attempting to it

in any way i also think that thats just for today...

the middle of the game beginning...

as of what art is concerned...

i believe the vocable art is so dead that it´s not important and a waste of our time to speculate if there can be a contemporary 2008 definition to this word, "Art"

there was a time when it didn´t exceed its imposed limitations, consciously or not, by the aristocracy since the dawn of the XVII century, but now thats not the entire case

nowadays we can steal, imitate, recycle, transform, innovate, etcetera, and by means of pretension believe that we can be original through the mere wanting action of the mind,

i´m going to ramble about that nonsense, because i feel that necessity... take care
