PROVOCATEUR Gallery of ‘great art’ n Survey respondents were asked to create artworks for a world in which art had been “made great again.” Here are a few examples of the pieces suggested. 30 Debbie Nathan photo Nobody, of course, believed in Venus when these works were created, but they liked looking at naked women, and they encouraged artists to paint them. Was that serving the community? Maybe, but by that time artists had been totally corrupted by money from the rich people. So you could say that Titian is not as bad as Jackson Pollock – definitely, he is better – but they are both bad. A work by Jackson Pollock is the most ridiculous, idiotic, senseless enterprise ever. Art critics say a Pollock is the greatest accomplishment of the 20th century. The greatest accomplishment? Just splashing paint? And people truly believe that. But compared to what? Quantum mechanics? I understand that Pollock’s first gesture was a liberating moment. But that was his liberating act. It was not my problem. And then his splashing became part of the machinery, part of the culture of art. Harold Rosenberg called this art “apocalyptic wallpaper.” It’s wallpaper, yes, but there’s nothing apocalyptic about it. Tell me, who invented Jackson Pollock? Why do we need to believe in this nonsense? It sounds like what you’re saying is that once art becomes a commodity that is bought and sold, and acquires value outside of its original meaning, then it becomes meaningless. The money is just a result. Don’t blame money for the problem. We ask for the money. The most profound thing I ever read – it was actually a mistranslation – came from a Russian philosopher and revolutionary named Alexander Herzen. It sounds good only as it was wrongly translated, but it says, “We think we are the doctors, but we are the disease.” You have to see yourself as a disease, not as a doctor. Artists are responsible for what’s happening to them, not the buyers and rich fat cats. We take their money, but it is we who are the problem. n “A mixed-media piece using 1950s cookbooks with illustrative songs playing ...” “A world where black art is valued ...” FALL 2016
