| show on the commercialization and sensationalization of art = Jeff Koons and YBA derivatives, a room curated by a collector or auction house, previous owners and prices of selected artworks on the wall to be edgy, 150 dollar catalogue | artist collective using no individual names because FOR SURE anonymity is how we get over the cult of personality and genius | Foucault, Adorno, Derrida or Baudrillard mentioned in the opening speech/catalogue | unused art supplies/raw materials exhibited to "evocate potential-ness" | POC and LGBTQ+ artists only being invited to produce art about being POC and LGBTQ+. If they don't comply, their POCLGBTQ+ness will still make it both into the catalogue and the opening speech. |
| impostor syndrome artist in a PhD programme, pushing the envelope by having longer texts next to their artworks | "a sometimes shocking and disarming approach deeply examining the interrelations of intersectional feminism" = gender essentialist stuff about periods, sex toys, and naked elderly women, some maybe WOC | anti-establishment artist sucked into the system, looking dead inside | "don't get too close to the works" - which are very tiny and really hard to see | praising the singular genius, ideas and concepts of an artist as code for "his workshop does everything and he doesn't even look at his own artworks before the vernissage" |
| "insights into the 21st centuries' sexual psyche" = photographs of Berliners fucking while taking selfies | preaching to the choir | ART BULLSHIT BINGO (free square) | "New voices of Southeast Asia" - rest assured all the artists went to Western art schools and have almost exclusively Western collectors | "intertextual meta-narratives problematizing a disembodied subjectivity..."-waffling |
| painter so keen on making grand macho art he just paints the largest canvasses possible | apparently comics are still counter culture | Arte Povera style shit larger than a moderately middle class apartment | "the liquid self" = show on Internet culture and art like it's 1997 | one room dedicated to the collector who, in his unbelievable generosity, let the museum inherit/borrow/accept the donation of his symbolic capital investment/tax evasion scheme |
| ostentatiously non-white cube architecture (i.e. former factory building) | artist's bio lists the same ten grants and galleries in the same order as the last ten artists shown at this institution | empty cardbord boxes + tape = installation | crypto art | "celebrating diversity" - audience 95% white, 5% waitstaff |
