Y'all. Heartache and Bonetrousle play in the background at certain parts. Because they’re the themes of the people Sans cared about the most.

i miss when you could make political art without placing personal identity (and the self) at the center of everything

this piece (“artist bio” by anna daliza) sort of perfectly sums it up. the emphasis on identity politics and tokenization in art/music/performance spaces feels reductive and exploitative- like it offers a sort of racial tourism for the wealthy white patrons. none of what im saying are original thoughts btw go see White by james ijames

Lots of people arguing about this but I would say that while background and history can add interest and context to art, one also has to ask if you like a work of art, what does it matter if you know anything about the artist? 

This is very modern conceit and it absolutely does influence galleries and patrons while saying nothing about the quality of the art itself. I don’t feel it is against anyone or their identity to point out that the identity is not the art itself.

Mark Rothko was over this by 1950, when he was asked to write two self-statements and said,  “I have nothing to say in words which I would stand for. I am heartily ashamed of the things I have written in the past. This self-statement business has become a fad this season.” 

In his case, Rothko trusted the communication between the art and the observer to do the job and worked hard to make sure there were no preconceived notions about the work at all, which is why he did not title his paintings.

I don’t generally reblog anything but I think whatever you think of this art itself, it’s good to ask question about what’s influencing you to like to dislike it.

Hey guys! The WGA is asking for people to sign a petition aimed against Universal. Treegate isn't the first union busting tactic Universal has tried.

They started a construction project that "just so happens" to block some of the sidewalks and forces picketers to walk in the street. The government told Universal they need to install safety rails to replace the sidewalks. A demand Universal has so far ignored.

Please sign the petition for Universal to install the safety rails and reblog.

The curse of modern fandom is that it has allowed fans to get even closer to artists, but they won't view the artists as people.

Human limits, human mistakes, human feelings, human needs, are never ascribed to artists, and when other fans rightfully point out, "hey, humans are making this, maybe don't harass them or demand they cater to your personal tastes," it gets shut down under, "uh, people who make popular mainstream things are automatically Public Figures who are also probably rich, so eat the rich and destroy artists over every perceived minor fault. <3"

Even though there's, y'know, a really big strike currently going on because those artists are very much not rich or influential or in control of the bullshit.

The more friends I make in the various facets of the entertainment industry, and the more widely my own art gets shared, the more I realize that a lot of y'all genuinely don't see artists as human beings if they meet some arbitrary standard of Being Known Online.

There is no amount of online fame that makes someone subhuman and a valid target for blatant disrespect and harassment.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not actually own and control a piece of art just because you like it a lot. The artists are not subject to your personal whims and tastes. They owe you nothing.
