Can you see me rolling my eyes?

Oh, artists.

translation:

"I am totally full of shit"

o_O.

There isn't enough Thousand Island dressing in the world to make that bowl of word salad digestible.

@4 Actually, that does technically make sense. But, you know, it doesn't.

@4 The grammar is technically correct. "Important" is being used as a noun here.

Sounds interdisciplinary.

Jen, Are you familiar with Arty Bollocks? This statement sounds like it was generated by the bollock-maker!

"I mean I... I focus on what's important! On how importance feels, and...and how important that is!"

Sorry buddy, still not convinced.

Can we now open the discussion to "re:"s and "/"s in exhibition titles? I'm against'em.

Let me see if I'm parsing this correctly.

"I remove the impertinent and bland elements of experience" = 'I ignore boring shit'

"and exalt the important" = 'and then I focus on the interesting shit'

"to communicate the magnitude of an event or scenario" = 'to emphasize the significance of an event'

"in terms of human experience and sensation" = 'in ways people can relate to.'

So, basically, the dude is saying he focuses on interesting things so people will be interested.

Q: Why didn't anyone save this artist from himself?

A: Insufficient critics are sufficiently critical.

Too few people care or have standards.
17
This is why I will never be an art critic or artist.

That is... unless I can pass off punching artists as a form of artistic expression.

Q: Why didn't anyone save this artist from himself?

A: In the world of contemporary art, everyone gets a gold star just for trying. It's gotten to the point that even the most absurd bullshit is given a pass and often an enthusiastic nod by critics like Jen Graves.
