Bendependent [email] said at 3:50 PM 05-10-2006: p.s. here's the fine print in case you don't feel like making your eyes bleed:
What we experience here in this piece is the “classic” if not all too “cliché” depiction of the dichotomy between the inherent struggle of an artist and his environment. Claassen (the third) has placed you, the viewer, in the driver’s seat (if you will) of life in a Postmodern art world with this satire of what it means to become a “serious artist”.
But why would he make this? Is he attempting to raise some sort of lame consciousness by juxtaposing “art” with “commerce”? Did he make this for mere shock value? Is he simply purging his frustrated emotions on us in a pathetic display of narcissistic psychotherapy? Perhaps you might ask yourself how I would even know, seeing as I am also mixed up in this chaotic world of raw experience. Got me, dude? I’m just happy to be here with my wine and condescending glare. I really have no idea why someone would spend so much time on something that yields very little in the way of monetary fruit...
