Advertisement that you have to interact with, then an old bloke saying 10 words then another ad - fuck that. Sorry I'm just not interested enough to sit through cars ads to get to a guy selling shit no one needs. Capitalism indeed.

Is the discipline of art criticism and the office of the art critic irrelevant today?

"Art made in a riotous spirit of bad taste not only undermines academic notions of correctness and stability, but it also renders itself virtually impervious to criticism, arming itself against attack from realists, modernists, Minimalists, and Post-Minimalists alike by gleefully confessing to its own intentionally questionable quality."
