| nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME --Wurdz by Otep Shamaya |
   Masterbation as Art as MasterbationNovember 12, 2001 7:08 p.m. Related Reading Okay, so Art History was interesting today. Charles was lecturing on Preformance Art. And ...this one guy made a ramp for the floor in a small room in a gallery. this ramp seemed entirely part of the room. However...the artist laid beneath the ramp, unseen by the patrons, naked. Now than, the artist was so arrosed by the fact that people were above him, he masterbated. he did this multple times during the day. Again,..the people could not see him....but the could hear him,....and I don't think attempted to be quiet.... Can you imagine? So ...many of the people in the class were greatly offended by this piece and didn't see it as art. (For some reason my Jr level 371...art history class is a class of 30 with maybe 5 art majors..what the hell.) So the Prof (Charles) had to defend and argue the piece and didn't get to some of the interesting things posed by the piece...and I've been thinking about it all day. Charles is known for this theory that if you do art solely for yourself and do not show it, then it is masterbation. This is the same for singing and dancing, or whatever. Thus singing in the shower is masterbation. It's a self gratifing act. So it got me thinking...what difference does it make if I show a painting or not? It's still a self gratifying act. I mean...if I masterbated, and I video taped it and showed it to someone, wouldn't it still be masterbation? Thus, while it might be art....if masterbating in a gallery is still masterbation, wouldn't all the other pieces in the gallery still be masterbation even though they are being seen as art? Interesting Huh. I think I'll pose the question to Charles after class on weds. |
