why am i naive?
i am having a crisis. this year, i have been called naive twice. by the same person. by a teacher who enjoys boring pretentious minimalist monochrome canvases done by artists like yves klein (a blue canvas......wooopdeedooo). BUT STILL. there is no doubt that i am struggling with my definition of what art is. and i always jump to conclusions because i am hostile towards most things. is this a bad thing though? i am not easily pleased. i am an extremely negative person. i have anger towards the art world. i cannot appreciate andy warhol (he took already existing images and printed them over and over again in different colours. BIG FUCKING DEAL).and i despise the venice biennale. most of contemporary art makes me fucking mad. i guess i'm not ALLOWED to hate these things. i have realized two streams in art. the idea and the image, both are completely different, and two different reasons to like a piece of art. i am an elitist yet i am the underdog. i feel that a little cartoon girl painted onto a wooden block should not be considered impressive but i don't like how conceptual "bullshit" art is exalted. I FUCKING DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO SEE. maybe i am naive because i try to delve into things that i shouldn't and will not be able to ever rationalize. GAH!
