It isn't life and it isn't destructive it's careerism- or should I say the bland following the bland. Mondrian once said that the destructive was an overlooked aspect of art. Many artists have made careers out of it- Milan Knizak, Gustave Metzger, and many after them. And it might be interesting to note that Knizak is now a major big wig Director of the National Museum in Prague or something like that, so it didn't hurt his career. What gets to me are the mediocre artists like yourself who spend there time "creating" precious fetish objects. I've always thought it a more balanced approach to do both and also that most artists are just maggot feeding on the corpse of culture, totally useless, made stupid by their educations, essentially non-productive members of society. Geogre Maciunas was once asked to do a show in a museum: he wanted to paint the floor with varnish and have people walk on it. That was the art. Of course, they didn't go for it.
