4chan is a logical necessity of postmodernism.

This is such an incredibly weird phrase, and is also very correct. That being said, other logical extensions of postmodernism include the off-handed assertion that 9/11 was the ultimate art installation.

WE all sometimes say things that come out in ways we did not intend. This is how defenders of the German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen are trying to explain away the grotesque remarks he made during a press conference in Hamburg on Sept. 17, when asked for his reactions to the terrorist attack on the United States.

Mr. Stockhausen, who emerged in the 1950's as one of a reigning trio of avant-garde composers that included Pierre Boulez and Luigi Nono, was taking questions before a four-day festival of his works in Hamburg. In disjointed comments that were taped by a German radio station and reported internationally, Mr. Stockhausen, 73, called the attack on the World Trade Center ''the greatest work of art that is possible in the whole cosmos.''

For all sickos in NYC there’s an exhibition at the Met right now about Artist ands dirty drawings. They even have Picasso’s Self-painting of him getting head from a much older model.

The usual Klimt smut too.

The Chapmans then added monster heads to Goya's Los Caprichos etchings and exhibited them at the White Cube in 2005 under the title Like a dog returns to its vomit. Like other interventionists they asserted this was an improvement on the original: "You can't vandalise something by making it more expensive." However, Dinos pointed out one problem: "sometimes it is difficult to make the original Goya etchings any nastier; in one I found a witch sexually molesting a baby.".[16]

Public outrage followed one attempt to reclassify an event in art terms on September 10, 2002, the eve of the first anniversary of the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, when Damien Hirst said in an interview with BBC News Online:

The thing about 9/11 is that it's kind of like an artwork in its own right ... David Hockney said that it was the 'most wicked piece of artwork'—a lot of people have compared it to a work of art. Of course, it's visually stunning and you've got to hand it to them on some level because they've achieved something which nobody would have ever have thought possible—especially to a country as big as America. So on one level they kind of need congratulating, which a lot of people shy away from, which is a very dangerous thing.[26]

The following week, he issued a statement through his company, Science Ltd:

I apologise unreservedly for any upset I have caused, particularly to the families of the victims of the events on that terrible day.[27]

The Birth of Tenancy Laws: (2010), poo poo on ceramic. A post-structural reinterpretation of DuChamp's seminal work, transcending the power dynamic between "toilet" and "user" by applying a palimpcestic relationship between the perceived function of an object designed to obscure its own function by design. By removing the signified operation of a "flush", the artist has challenged the very hegemonic constructs which the Western world depends on for the circulation of power structures.

My Bed by Tracey Emin

My Bed is a work by the English artist Tracey Emin. First created in 1998, it was exhibited at the Tate Gallery in 1999 as one of the shortlisted works for the Turner Prize. It consisted of her bed with bedroom objects in an abject state, and gained much media attention. Although it did not win the prize, its notoriety has persisted.

The idea for My Bed was inspired by a sexual yet depressive phase in the artist's life when she had remained in bed for several days without eating or drinking anything but alcohol. When she looked at the vile, repulsive mess that had accumulated in her room, she suddenly realised what she had created. Emin ardently defended My Bed against critics who treated it as a farce and claimed that anyone could exhibit an unmade bed. To these claims the artist retorted, "Well, they didn't, did they? No one had ever done that before."

quote:

Two men jump naked into Tracey's bed, 1999
Main article: Yuan Chai and Jian Jun Xi
A notable case of an unauthorised intervention—which did no damage, yet was still liable for prosecution—occurred at 12.58 p.m. on October 25, 1999, when two artists, Yuan Chai and Jian Jun Xi, jumped on Tracey Emin's installation My Bed, in the Turner Prize at Tate Britain, wearing only underwear. They called their performance Two Naked Men Jump Into Tracey's Bed. They were arrested for their action, but no charges were pressed. Chai had written, among other things, the words "ANTI STUCKISM" on his bare back. They said they were "improving" Emin's work, because they thought it had not gone far enough, and opposed the Stuckists, who are anti-performance art.[9]
