I read an article recently about the legitamacy and beauty of fecal art. For some of you who have the IQ of a gnat, fecal art is the art in which shit is used. After reading this article my head almost imploded.
It amazes me that our society is so fucked up that they think that last night's pot roast and corn is art just because it is splattered on a canvas. Why do people buy it? How can they pay good money to see it hanging in a gallery? Where do I sign up?
Do people go to these galleries and pick apart the brain of the artist? Do they say things like "this piece is an example of angst and desire" "the artist lusts after another" "phenominal use of shading and design!"
I worked with troubled kids for years and the guideline for kids who played with shit or smeared it on things is that they were sexually abused and fucked up. What message are we sending these kids by saying that it is wrong to smear shit on things unless it involves a canvass and can be sold in a gallery?
Seriously, if people pay a lot of money to see shit on a canvas, then I am literally flushing down my future kid's college education everyday. Basically, we all have the tools and potential to be artists. Mom would be proud of her lil artist.
