Sagebrush posted: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." Out of morbid curiosity: where they sculpted or casted?

Both, but mostly cast from life. Apparently every semester at least one student would give the professor one of her ("her") castings as a gift at the end of the class.

I was going to post a response, but Sagebrush is so spot on that I don't really have much to add. By all means break the rules, but don't use your complete lack of skill and talent as an excuse to do poo poo that a crazy homeless person would do and act like a pretentious turd about it because you are dying for attention. That poo poo is the worst. veni veni veni has a new favorite as of 06:53 on Aug 14, 2013 |

I love outsider art, but you know, the best ones are great because they're not trying super hard to be outsiders, they're just kinda damaged humans doing what they think is normal.

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. Man this is so true. The more involved I am with musical projects, the more eclectic my tastes get. I don't do anything music related anymore and jam to rap and pop stations now, it's like an inverse correlation. Or maybe I'm just old now.

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. This might be the best summation. There definitely is art that exists solely for other artists. Sagebrush posted:There are two completely different contexts here, though. This is true, but I know far too many people whose boundary of what's acceptable is basically renaissance art. Like, you're putting Piss Christ in #1 when I feel like the average person would be more likely to put it into #2. There is also the fact that a large part of what makes Piss Christ good art IS the fact that it was intentionally and so successfully bizarre and shocking. If it was just a crucifix in some yellow jam named Jam Christ then you would have never heard of it because it's not that compelling. It's the fact that it was pee and that he specifically put the word "piss" in the name rather than urine or pee that made it what it was. The problem isn't that they're taking the wrong message, the problem is that what was bizarre and shocking in 1987 is no longer bizarre and shocking so people smearing poo poo on a canvas just look like assholes rather than people challenging the art establishment. If someone wanted to challenge the art establishment today they'd probably have to create something really simple and earnest with genuine emotion and conviction behind it. Everything is so disaffected and too-cool-for-school anymore. That might explain why folk music has become so popular.

At least he had the sense to only use one o rather than two, which the majority of the Internet struggles with, for some reason.

rear end in a top hat casserole posted:The two girls on the right side totally look like the drugged out girls in the gif of a concert audience. I'm sure someone knows what gif I mean. I am almost positive I saw that blonde girl doing stand-up comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last week. She even had a bit about making weird faces like that. She was the worst kind of comedian, one that figures if you're just really loud and crass, it's funny. The punchline to one of her jokes was literally just "gently caress off Grandma, you wrinkled old bitch!" She's Australian, of course.

DicktheCat posted:Please tell me you're being facetious and I missed it or something. The comment was intended humorously. The line is not arbitrary as there is quite a bit of a difference between a vibrator and a sex robot (whatever they inevitably end up looking like). Although I think you could technically classify a vibrator as a robot it would be a bit of a stretch. But that was the idea since if they are both robots, then where any why is this arbitrary line drawn? However I have nothing against people using those pillow thingies. Nor would I have anything against people using sex robots. Bad Sneakers posted:Around a $20 price point. clever

The problem I have with most "Art for Art's Sake" that's done today is that I believe art should communicate something, even if (like Dada) that message is "gently caress You," while I'd hazard to guess that 90% of the vagina paintbrush people aren't actually communicating anything other than "I am brilliant and therefore sticking a squirrel-hair filbert in my cooter is automatically brilliant too." The other 10% are either trying to say "Yeah, that, only ironically, and you actually paid to get here you morons," or "I'm Yoko Ono". (No nudity but  anyway.)

Heh. That is actually what I was referring too earlier when I was talking about stuff that annoyed me. That's actually Shigeko Kubota not Yoko Ono though. This is more hilarious than awkward because of the commentary (actually Bill Burr IS pretty awkward) but I still think it belongs in this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss0XNOWvzlU veni veni veni has a new favorite as of 17:59 on Aug 14, 2013 |

Grogsy posted:Wait a second. Vibrators are fine but sex robots are a step to far? This reminds me of a conversation I had with MY WIFE not too long ago about sex toys. I had made a crack about something looking like a Fleshlight, and she said "eww, those things are so gross". I was surprised, since she used to work in an adult video store and is not exactly conservative. So I asked why vibrators are cool and normal and not weird but a personal masturbation device for men was gross and not cool. Because you put your weiner in it and it collects spunk was the deciding factor according to her. For the record I don't really care either way. I have no problem with women (or men) using vibrators or cock-sleeves or whatever; I just though it was interesting how two devices used for pretty much the same purpose could elicit such different reactions. I think the question above about drawing the line is actually pretty valid. Fake Edit: I do feel that sexbots are over the line, but I couldn't say where that line is.
