Exploring Anti-Art: The Dada Influence on Modern Art's Value

[00:00:00]art a representation of talent intellect and most importantly culture there was a time where you couldn't walk the streets without seeing beautiful architecture monuments carvings and

people are told that anyone can be an artist I mean yeah absolutely you can give it a go everyone can produce art but not everyone can produce good art some people are Naturals some need a little bit of practice and others are a lost cause today we are not talking about good art we are talking about art that barely deserves the title or art that was done as a joke the kind of lazy walk that modern artists put out hoping to make some easy cash you won't see many examples of works like David by Michelangelo any Modern Art Exhibit you're more likely to see something like that well once we had absolutely amazing detail to such a level that it inspired or we now have this dick-faced monstrosity trolling it can be an art form in itself but it still requires a level of skill and consistency similar to any other art with the exception of humor but sometimes the art world will eat up any old rubbish anyway and in some cases they literally did before I go into the art I need to explain what dataism is since it relates to many controversial and wacky artists that are going to be mentioned in this video dadaism was an art movement that began in Europe during the early 20th century as a reaction to the horrific experiences of world war one dadaists rejected the logic rationality and aestheticism of modern society instead expressing nonsense irrational quality and anti-bourgeois protest and their Works dadaism was about rejecting standard art and creating things that were meant to shock and provoke dataists believe that the world had been made insane by War so their art should be just as insane they rejected traditional forms of art such as painting and sculpture in favor of more experimental forms including Music dadist Works often feature on nonsensical images absorb juxtapositions and random words and phrases there was a couple of theories as to how the movement got its name some believed it was randomly selected by Richard husenbeck when he slid a letter opener into a dictionary and chose whatever word that the point was pointing at others believe it was based on the first world that many children speak but most people believe that it's just as nonsensical as the movement itself and has no meaning whatsoever one of the more recent incidents involving this movement that many of you may already know about involved a banana at Art Paseo in Miami Beach an artist duct taped a banana to a wall and titled the peace comedian maybe because none of this can or should be taken seriously many people found it extremely hard to consider this art and they were especially confused when the peace sold for a hundred and twenty thousand dollars the piece was made by the Italian artist Mauricio Catalan who was previously known for creating an 18 carat gold toilet with a value of six million dollars which was later stolen from the Blenheim Palace and still hasn't been found to this day it's probably been melted down and used for a better purpose but back to the banana during the exhibit another artist walked up to the art piece removed the duct tape and proceeded to confidently start eating the banana in front of all of the shocked attendees the artist was David detuna a performance artist from Georgia and when he was asked if he felt bad about vandalizing another artist's work he simply said it wasn't vandalism it was an art performance from me and I absolutely am not sorry he even he even went on to tell them that he had titled this new piece hungry artist and when he was asked why he did it he said because I was hungry and I just ate it there is there is some level of absolute child behavior in this especially since the original piece let's face it was pointless overpriced shape that had absolutely no meaning so this guy decided to joke on the possible joke maybe this was all set up as one big long game art performance but I hope it wasn't because there's something extremely funny about an artist sitting there crying watching some [ __ ] poster eating his 120 000 pounds banana art piece a well-known Dada artist by the name of Marcel Duchamp had gone to a plumbing store and bought a porcelain toilet he took it home and did some very very minor modifications to it he wrote armut 1917 on the side and then titled it Fountain that's kind of art is called Ready Made art which is exactly as it sounds an artist will buy something premium made by someone else and then modify it very slightly which according to artists makes it new art sometimes enough changes are made to actually make it something new but in most cases it's borderline just selling someone else's work he was known for doing things out of the ordinary and sometimes almost childish like when he made a parody of the Mona Lisa where he just simply added the detail of giving her a mustache there is a more technical term for this type of art it's called being [ __ ] lazy one of the more funny Antics that Duchamp did was design exhibits in a way to make it harder or more dangerous for the viewers in 1938 he hung coal bags from the ceiling that were full of newspapers which was deemed a pretty image of fire hazard and not only that he made the inside of the exhibit patch black so people had to use lit torches to view the art pieces which is that's that's so [ __ ] dangerous but then later in 1942 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art he made an art piece out of the entire gallery by forcing people to climb through what can only be described as the aftermath of Spider-Man having a wank these are obviously much more of a troll so I have a lot more respect for these ones maybe not so much the whole coal bag thing because you know I'm down for trolling but not to a point where it can get everyone killed in a fire oh well next artist is the Charlie zelenoff of art where she thinks she's amazing at it but she's actually [ __ ] and no one likes on is too simplistic or nonsensical where others accuse her of just being an attention seeker some people have speculated that hard work is specifically making fun of Art in general and that she is part of the Dada movement so it would make sense that she would dabble and nonsensical art and annuality it really isn't that deep she's just [ __ ] mental she has just there's just something wrong with her she was the woman who destroyed the Beatles And also a once very entertaining YouTuber well she does attempt to make more traditional kinds of art she usually prefers performance art and you're only getting one wall in here prepare your deals because you are going to absolutely love the beautiful tones that she belts out here wow ah she shares the voice of an Angel doesn't she no screaming your lungs out down the microphone as in all that controversial I mean it seems to be the go-to for a lot of modern day feminists but when she released her album season of glass people were rather shocked to see that she had used John Lennon's glasses on the cover and it wasn't just a standard pair of glasses that looked like his they were the pair covered in his blood from when he was assassinated people were already passed off at yoko's Antics throughout the years after all she did Kill The Beatles And they also believed that she was just coasting off of The Beatles Fame to make money and this made a lot of people Furious because not only was she still using John for financial gain long after his death but also the fact that she was using those specific pair of glasses well that was just seen as very bad taste but if we want to talk about bad taste album covers then look no further than dawn of the Blackhearts by Mayhem only Google that if you have a very strong stomach and before you ask yes that is a real picture in 2018 Latvian artist Arthur belzon did a shock performance art piece titled eschatology where a woman dressed in a white hazmat suit approaches to sitting performers and starts to cut pieces of skin from their backs with a scalpel she then walks up to a frying pan and starts to cook the skin and if this wasn't shocking enough for the people watching it on Facebook live yes this was live streamed to the internet the woman then starts to feed the performance skin to themselves so this art piece was performers eating their own cooked skin for a short time it went viral and many people complained about it but so far the artist said that he hasn't gotten into any legal trouble despite the controversy and the police have not yet been in touch with them whether it's art or not as debatable but they're all consenting adults free to make their own extremely stupid decisions but they definitely need therapy as for the the hidden meaning the the secret do you see what the artist was trying to see here you know they had him one's never been established art gives a lot of people the excuse to do the really really weird [ __ ] that they kind of get off on and want to do but if they just go it's art they just kind of get a pass and if you don't like it well you just don't understand art now for an artist that most of you have probably heard of Banksy Banksy used to be anti-establishment until the establishment adopted his views so now technically he is pro-establishment some of his old PCS were purposely made to piss people off mainly authority figures such as the police government and celebrities he took a job at advertising and even started a temporary theme park called dismaland which was purposely made to be depressing the exhibits contained a lot of social commentary about immigration which you will all most likely disagree with because it lines up perfectly with the establishment's views have you seen the current state of immigration I honestly have no [ __ ] idea what banks he's complaining about but other social and political topics were also covered the staff were told not to smile and to be as rude as they were wanted to depart goals which is really not an irregular experience in the UK one of the most controversial exhibits that he had created was the car crash of Princess Diana which he did in the style of a Disney fairy tale which that was a little bit of a Spacey meter Ball but I mean I mean come on that's quite funny one of the exhibits is a riot van that was used during the IRA riots and it had been converted into a water fountain with the water coming out of the water cannons that were used to knock down protesters there is a short documentary about the park titled one day in desmeland which I do recommend that you go and watch Banksy also left an entire art auction in shock when his peace girl with balloon sold for just over a million pounds and it was then immediately shredded last chance and selling for 860 000.

[00:17:04][Applause] thank you yeah Banksy had actually built a custom frame with a remote controlled Shredder belt inside of it so at the event he anonymously hid in the audience and purposefully triggered the shredder right after it sold some may say that it was ruined which seemed to be the intention but of course wanky art people all believed that the shredding itself was Art tuned actually places a lot more value on the piece I mean that is some level of cope but unfortunately this act did actually raise the price of the piece which was renamed to love as in the bin and it sold again for 18.5 million pounds at this point Banksy has become too much of a big name for any more IRL trolling despite all of the theories to his identity with some people thinking they actually managed to figure out who Banks he is but they were very very wrong because in 20 22 someone spread a rumor that a local councilor for Pembroke Dock named Billy Gannon was Banksy at first it was believed that the rumors would die down but they didn't in fact the harassment of the counselor got so bad that he decided to quit the job when he was questioned about this entire event he said how am I supposed to prove that I'm not somebody who doesn't exist just how do you do that I know that every time Banksy gets mentioned in a video I always give him [ __ ] and it's because he is someone that I once massively respected and looked up to I mean I've got a [ __ ] Banksy tattooed on me for [ __ ] sake but the reason I don't like him now is because I fell for his LARP he's a larpa I mean don't get me wrong Desmond land in the shredding were incredibly funny and a lot of his artwork is still very insightful but with just a little bit of research you can see that he has nowhere near as anti-government or anti-authoritarian as he makes himself out to be he's one of those guys that I don't really believe in private property man and he's actually Pro authoritarian as long as it's the kind of authoritarianism that upholds his beliefs he's basically your standard Twitter leftist or Reddit anarchist is a lot Paul another artist was Damien host who saw the piece titled for the love of God which was apparently inspired by his mother saying for the love of God what are you going to do next the peace as a diamond encrusted skull that sold for 50 million pounds which was the highest selling art piece by a living artist haast spent 12 million pounds on the diamonds and three million pounds of that was spent on the larger Diamond set in the forehead of the skull the reason that this was seen as a troll was host's attitude towards it and the other artists in fans thought it was just a quick money grab for host and it contained no art at all I mean you can literally buy things like this for the gear stick in your car it was also controversial because the skull isn't fake it is a real human skull from the 18th century although allow me to get a little bit of artsy for a second and say that the piece was clearly made as a commentary on the pointlessness of wealth after death or something like that others said that it was somehow a victory over Decay but I'm sure everyone has their own opinion on whatever Ponce artsy fartsy message that this piece was supposed to convey all it could just be an extremely expensive skull and nothing else another art piece that sold for Millions was called one mint sex or ornament sex I have no idea how it's pronounced and I don't care to find out it was sold for 43.8 million dollars at Sotheby's auction and it was controversial because like where is that like that that's crap that's terrible I mean at least you could poo some kind of meaning behind Damien hosco but this was just a fraction better than the type of artwork that your child draws that you pretend to like there was no Talent Osco involved in this whatsoever I could make this which makes the ridiculous selling price even funnier thank you very much indeed 28 million dollars Ian [ __ ] serious I know for some smaller events that don't involve millions of dollars or famous artists all they require is a gullible audience in 2015 at museum a museum for modern and Contemporary Art in Bolzano Italy there was an installation by artists Sarah goldschmead and ileonara chiare which consisted of 300 empty wine bottles cigarette butts and confetti so it looked just like the aftermath of a party or a soon-to-d cat lady's apartment so it's no wonder that when the gallery cleaners came in without any knowledge of the exhibit and they were told to clean up well they did their job and they cleaned the room off they literally thought the art was trash because it literally was just a pile of trash and they threw it all in bags and threw it out a 17 year old prank star named TJ kayatan put his friend's glasses on the floor of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art after they started to question whether some of these exhibits should even be considered out of course as soon as they saw the glasses the Mindless hordes of the gallery walked up and started to take pictures what could this mean surely those Susan water boots Society I think with the United subscribers shut your [ __ ] mouth you know the usual wanky things that come out of those pretentious [ __ ] mouths the glasses will eventually picked up by the friend who put them on and walked away while laughing and the reaction of the onlookers was you know it was it was just Priceless there was this wheeled Awkward Moment where people realized that they had just been bamboozled that wasn't even the only time that Gallery visitors were that gullible someone had dropped a single glove on the floor in New York's Museum of Modern Art which wasn't even a prank someone had just genuinely accidentally dropped their glove yet that didn't stop the people in the gallery walking around the glove cautiously admiring it and thinking it was an exhibit you know so I can I can see here that the artist is trying to say that he's lost his [ __ ] glove I don't [ __ ] know this is this is how ridiculous modern art has gotten I mean see if you can't tell if something is art or not then either it's [ __ ] art or it's just not art like the fact that something as simple as this could be mistaken for modern art shows the problem with modern art Modern Art if you've noticed this is really easy to make have you noticed that it requires like no Talent OR time to actually produce the stuff you can literally drop a glove in the middle of the floor which takes half a [ __ ] second and people will still consider that as Modern Art which says a lot about Modern Art no there is one kind of exhibit that shows up every now and then and those exhibits involve showing off various piles of bricks in all shapes and sizes now I'm just going to assume that this one is a troll maybe it was done for a bit of fun maybe a little bit of irony about what counts as out these days but some of the artists do seem pretty serious about it then again a lot of Modern Art can seem that way since a lot of the time it is created through pure laziness I mean moving a few bricks into a square or another simple shape isn't exactly A Hard Day's graft is it and it also doesn't require the skill of abriki who actually benefits the world with his Creations Modern Art kind of has the same problem that a lot of us have on the internet where you can't tell what's real and what's trolling since things have gotten so ridiculous it's now very difficult to tell them apart the troll out is absolutely hilarious since it directly takes the piss out of Modern Art so by all means please keep doing that but as for actual genuine attempts at Modern Art well art or beauty is in the eye of the beholder or however the [ __ ] that Scene goes into this but older all of this modern art stuff is a giant steaming pile of [ __ ] I mean I've been to the Louvre I've stood in front of the Mona Lisa I have sat an absolute [ __ ] awe in front of Jacques Louis David's coronation of Napoleon that took him three years to complete I've seen Giada De bondoni Saint Francis of Assisi receiving Stigmata from all the way back when art was supposed to be reverence of what was being depicted and the time effort and talent that went into making and immortalizing this person or event what we have now is a bunch of attention [ __ ] who won't even try to learn basic art skills they won't even dedicate more than half an hour to actually creating their art piece sees I mean look at them like that some of this [ __ ] would take me five minutes it would take me five minutes to [ __ ] make that [ __ ] they don't even care about what they're making a single look at the [ __ ] they make can tell you that they just want everyone to think that they're so oh so deep and insightful and random LOL raw XD right the larpers right the little attention [ __ ] that are doing it either for attention or a quick payday because there are some absolute [ __ ] morons out there that will pay millions and millions of [ __ ] pounds for something that literally can't be distinguished from literal trash classical alt draws attention to what's important Modern Art draws attention to an artist who wishes they were important [Music]
