NESguerilla posted:What is with weird loving arty women and their obsession with menstrual blood and their vaginas? They're significant symbols for artists whose work directly goes up against established patriarchal concepts in culture. That's the most clinical interpretation I can give you.

It's actually because artists are loving terrible people, generally. Notable exception: Bob Ross.

My theory is it's an inability to be reflective about their own ideas or obsessions. I say this as the nephew of an artist and professor of art who has work in several galleries. She makes nice paintings, but man can she bullshit about her "inspirations" without batting an eye at how pretentious it all sounds.

I have been around these people quite a bit and they all just drink the kool-aid so hard. I think they just lack any sort of self awareness because the people they surround themselves with people look and act just as stupid as them.

I wonder how she sees herself in her mind. I knew a girl once who was overweight and used to dress in skimpy clothing. She used to go out of her way to make sure that I noticed her cleavage and on occasion would shove guys faces in it, as a "treat". When I talked to her about how I didn't appreciate being smothered in her sweater hams she dismissed me and said all guys want tits the bigger the better. She was popular though. Lot's of guys hung around her and I am pretty sure she was patient zero for some STD outbreaks. She also always wanted to make out with girls cause "lesbians are hot"

I mean the two or three I disgustingly watched being groped seemed to a) not fight back aggressively b) engage proactively back. However, think of all the encounters that got cut out where the women are scared/kick/scream help. Gross AND disgusting! I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was fake/set up. I only watched through the second girl and she seemed like she was ~ACTING~. Just didn't seem like it was real to me.

At no point does loving a pillow constitute bestiality regardless of what's silk-screened on there. I guess maybe if the pillow was stuff with geese you were gonna gently caress later.

I would have thought of those examples as representing zoophilia, or just being sexually attracted to animals, vs. bestiality, which is just fuckin' em. Apparently those are more fluid terms than I thought though.

People on tumblr get pretty carried away with the whole pronoun thing, but I think it's a nice thing to do! It's a simple way to make people feel at ease and included, which is probably not always the case for trans* individuals!

It is brown in hue due to oxidation, as it had been kept in a containor for 1 month from my previous period. I saved the blood that was left over from the canvas painting and then when I was next menstruating I applied it to my face. It was very unpleasant; it stung my face and left my skin sore. It also smelt of ammonia and made my eyes stream with water. I have since learnt that it is not a good idea to store blood in this way. At least she learned from her experience!

I just can't help but laugh at most pretentious edgy art. Edit: Especially all this menstruel blood stuff. It seems played out as hell already, but a bunch of art school drop outs are still playing around with it because they hope the edginess of it will cancel out how incompetent they are at painting. It's not even edgy it's just loving gross. veni veni veni has a new favorite as of 06:22 on Aug 14, 2013 |

I watched her video explaining it. The jar and the cookies are separate (thank god) The jar started because she had hosed up periods and needed to measure how much she was bleeding (like 3x normal iirc and then even more after she had a kid) But then she kept saving it for four more years so it's still hosed up but there's at least some basis there.

I just can't help but laugh at most pretentious edgy art. When I was doing the music thing in CC, I ran into something pretty similar. It's like hardcore music students get tired of hearing traditional chord structures, melodies, harmonies, rhythms, etc, and they end up listening to and performing stuff that would dare the listener to try and glean any kind of comprehensible musical idea from it. At some point, (in a true personal anecdote) I was talking to a dude in a practice room when someone else in the practice room tripped and hit the keyboard of a piano and made a god-awful cluster of tones. The dude stopped mid sentence, opened his eyes wide, and demanded to know what notes were hit. I even went through this phase were music with any kind of beat (or any semblance of a plodding pulse to keep time) started to annoy the gently caress out of me and I would try and find stuff that was purely textural. I think, possibly, the same thing happens with other art. After so many years of drawing straight lines and perfect circles, the paint brush up the rear end finally sounds like a liberating and fresh idea. And stuff like this just isn't for general consumption, but rather for other artists.

There are two completely different contexts here, though. Context #1 is an artist like Picasso. A brilliant technical draftsman for many many years who later decided to try exploring other things, "breaking the rules" because he understood them so well already and wanted to do something new. It still actually takes a huge amount of skill to create art like Picasso's even if it isn't realistic. Context #2 is the sophomore art student. They see something like Picasso's work, or more likely something lie Piss Christ (which was a photographic piece by a skilled photographer not just a crucifix in a bottle of urine) and they don't see a learned master experimenting with new ideas -- they see something bizarre and shocking. So they interpret "bizarre and shocking" as what made the art great, and start getting paint enemas and making GBS threads all over a canvas. My sister knows a college art professor who quit her job and went back to school for another degree because, in her words, she "couldn't take another goddamned clay vagina."
