JD Siazon - Prime Arts Journalist For Hire

The art world has evolved to such

where 99% of it is business and 1% of it art.  In this atmosphere,

everything is becoming increasingly dry and corporate.

Speed, power structures, neoliberalism, greed, and the desire for fame

all contribute to a severe bottleneck at the doorsteps of art institutions.

Thus, in an attempt to stick out, artists resort to extreme measures

sometimes manifesting in instances of coprophilia or self-mutilation

though normally artwork of a frustrated, cynical, or ironic type.

With the quality of art in decline this has allowed words

to usurp the art object. 

Words then become a dialectic which imparts the illusion of activity.

And around this illusory activity is the art world constructed.
