Self-objectification

Hey, how's your Friday going?

It came and went, nothing too exciting happened!

I don't know... In a way, I found Theirry to be a kind of genius, or idiot-savant. I think, on some level, he saw the game component of the art business and cut through all the nonsense to the ultimate goal: Wealth and celebrity.

If you think about it, what he did in the art world was not too different from his clothing business, where he'd buy pallets of clothes for $50 and sell individual pieces for $400. Genius!

Lastly, there are rumors that the whole film, and Theirry in particular, were complete fabrications.

In a way, I'm not sure I even care.

PS: I got to meet Shepard a while back. He created an amazing painting on a concrete wall in an alt art gallery. Unbelievably, it got painted over when the show ended. Ah well... it is the fragility of art. I suppose you've seen Rivers & Tides... I love that film. In fact, I need to watch it again.

Lastly, and I can't say exactly why, I thought you might enjoy this photo that I took a few years ago. You get some sort of virtual prize if you can guess where I took it... (not the location,specifically, but the associated event.)

There are a few other pix from the same event on my new art thread, linked in my sig.

What he did with the art was exactly like his clothing business and I would hardly call it genius. I just wrote out a few more sentences but they're just angry and I've deleted them so...going forward on to a different topic..
I have never seen Rivers and Tides but I'll be sure to add it to my list :)
At present I have no idea where that photo was taken but it reminds me of this festival/contest where people decorate their cars in an awesomely ridiculous manner and the participants generally dress up as well and prizes are awarded accordingly..

Thank you :kiss:

You are welcome!

Have a great week sweetheart :kiss:
Congrats on reaching 2,000 posts :):rose:

Thanks! It was lovely :) And I didn't even realize that 2,000 was creeping up, thank you for making it a great post :kiss:

Very, very gorgeous Curve. Wonderful photos =]

Thank you and welcome to my thread! I've seen you around on other pic threads, I'm glad I have met your approval. Hope you have a superb Monday!
 
Hope your Monday is treating you well :D Hot and sticky here (outside that is ;) )
 
Yes indeed, havin' my first cup after sleeping in a bit later than normal ;)

Hope your week begins well, gorgeous! :kiss:

:rose:
 
I kiiiiiind of just woke up..so I'm still getting my bearings, but said Monday is going well thus far! How about yours? Besides hot and sticky of course.. ;)

Just got home from work, working on some side work now trying to stay awake thanks to the assholes that decided to light off fireworks at 1am this morning

*sneaks into your kitchen and pours myself one*

So...any plans for today? :)

Wait..if you just got home from work.. When do you usually sleep?
 
Oy vey...I would need more sleep than that. And due to the 1 am fireworks, I believe you are entitled to a nap!

The 1 am fireworks were just a minor bump in my road of slumber....the other 4x I woke up for whatever reason however....I will probably try to take one at some point, but I am working on some side business and money > sleep atm

That's legit. Now I'm feeling all sorts of unproductive.
*blows the dust off my to-do list and consults it*

Oh honey, don't think that just because I already worked 8 hours means I was productive....anything but to be honest. I work alone from 3am until about 8am and I tend to do as little as possible
 
Oh I know....it is a job of convenience at the moment, definitely NOT a permanent thing
 
But yay for money! (right?)

Yeah...now if I could only increase the amount at which I accumulate it while actually enjoying what I do....maybe I should be a gigolo...but then I am sure I would have some less than enjoyable moments with that too lol

I understand how you feel. I do. There are a group of people who believe that the whole story about Mr Brain Wash was entirely fabricated by Banksy as a huge joke. I'm not sure if that's true, or not. I secretly wish it were, though.

I have never seen Rivers and Tides but I'll be sure to add it to my list :)

I think you'll love it. It is about Andy Goldsworthy, if you know who he is. Also, the soundtrack for the film was created by one of my all-time favorite musicians, Fred Frith.

At present I have no idea where that photo was taken but it reminds me of this festival/contest where people decorate their cars in an awesomely ridiculous manner and the participants generally dress up as well and prizes are awarded accordingly..

It was taken at the Gay Pride Parade, which is quite a big event around here. I took a series of shots for the publication I work for but, sadly, they didn't run my all time favorite shot... Maybe I'll post it on Lit sometime.

Peace!
