not just the art world is getting more and more Œcreative¹ in doing their business...also crime is
from NY times Saturday May 31
³A boy is killed, and all Japan is Stunned²
the killer who cut off the head of a boy - not for the first time, but the 3rd - left a note saying:
³Can you stop me, police? I desperately want to see people die. I think it¹s fun to kill people. A bloody judgment is needed for my years of great bitterness²
---
the Œinteresting¹ thing is: ³can you stop me, police²... of courses, this is a cat and mouse game, a way to also make it into the media. ---
non sense killing for mediatic reason... this person , of course is sick, and ³expressed² himself in this macabre disgusting way.....
so soon, we will may bewill also see artists killing as Œart¹..
there is this sick australian artist, who cut off his own finger and put it into a vitrine in a museum... also stupid and irresponsible, from the part of the curators too...
and some others, abusing animals¹ as art¹....
I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOT LET EVERYTHING PASS AS ART JUST BECAUSE IT IS SPECTACULAR, CONTROVERSIAL, OR JUST HORNY AND PATHETIC...
(destructions, killings, abuse, harrrassing, molesting etc... --- just bad if sold as art... )
