(May 10 05, 04:29)Chis Ofili has made a career out of endorsing the justification of elephant shit.
"There's something incredibly simple but incredibly basic about it," Ofili said. "It attracts a multiple of meanings and interpretations."

do you think the difference between fine artists and designers is that artists have more highly developed bull/elephant/sheepshit empathy?

The article argues anything derived from subjective pleasure but argued objectively doesn't have a place: basically, anything aesthetic. Which is a load of balls. It may be irrational, it may fail objective tests, but aesthetic bullshit SELLS. That's why toothbrushes come in 6 different colors. Not because of any "real" reason, but because of bullshit. Some people just like them. Leave it at that.
Celebrate bullshit. It caters to us all. It is diversity and the wide array of style, trends, color and appearance artists like to piss on. Otherwise we'd all be sitting on blocks of granite and staring at blank walls.

safe, blud.
