1. Good taste is fascism. "Either all are special or none."
2. It is the artist's responsibility to smash style.
3. Artistic talent is the only obstacle.
4. We must embrace the unacceptable in all spheres.
5. We use the tough language that only children can bear.
6. Art is made to impress, but we are not in awe.
7. Artists don't laugh in case the mob should discover that they are pathetic.
8. Western art has been stupefying its audience into taking the position of an admiring doormat. We intend to wipe our mud-encrusted boots on the face of conceptual balderdash.
9. Fashion and its role in art. The artist as social
terrorist or on the pay-roll of the conservatives and the Saatchi's ?
10. Art can achieve nothing.
11. The negative and bogus posture of being positive. To like something or 'be positive' has always been held up as a laudable attribute. We believe that it takes consciousness and intelligence to dislike something. As if being a fan of some moronical half-wit artist or musician is an achievement. How often in life have we met 'a fan' who by their violent devotion to the god-like status of their chosen infatuation is really only puffing up their own shabby ego and trying to allude to some vast expansion of their pathetic brain.
12. The conceptual artist arrives on the scene and frozen with fear, like some anal retard, is too scared to transmute their ideas into paint and commence a string of unacceptably pathetic canvasses and thereby experience themselves as crap. It is essential for every artist to paint a succession of unacceptably bad paintings.
