MetaConstruct Manifesto:
annihilation poetics and amagideon art in an authoritarian
and antagonistic age
<http://www.bbrace.net/M-scans/M-scans.html>
Contemporary "Artworld artists" on the self-aggrandizing
circuit, are invariably reduced to illustrating and
trivializing popular political opinions under the deceitful
guise of creating clever cultural currency and cloying
"relevancy." Are you just as amazed to learn that apparently
most of these (disingenuous) "artists" today have regular
commercial gallery exhibits, international representation,
government funding, cushy teaching jobs, critical support,
duplicitous colleagues, fancy homes and professional
studios/supplies?... (While basic necessities are routinely
denied to many of us our entire working-lives by creepy,
arrogant Artworld and Corporate despots...) Accordingly, my
MetaConstruct installations can now only occur in the
aftermath of significant cultural devastation -- gutted,
globalized galleries, crucified curators, fraudulent
Arts-funding and the hoax of institutional Art-history...
In the 20+ years since my last public installation, these
various, modest components have continued to be developed
beyond their depicted states here/online. Obviously,
increasingly corrupt and incestuous Art Institutions cannot
be trusted to exhibit and support, fine integral work that
enables idioms rather than regurgitated
stylistic/ideological constraints and apologetics...
Perhaps, at-heart, this work was always an independent
aspiration seeking intimate constellar conditions for its
long-regarded re-entry into a respectable realm -- poised as
it was, on the perpetually charred cultural rubble of the
present -- but we still yearn for righteous revenge,
equitable access to resources, and an end to irresponsible,
supercilious, cabalistic, cultural imperialism.
