This piece by Eva & Franco Mattes was inspired by an internet meme...maybe. Who knows. It was shown by Postmasters.
This is more of that "high concept" art where folks display things that may or may not be what they seem. It all sounds like bullshit to me. Where they claim to have stolen pieces from great artists and then displayed those pieces as art. "Their work has much to do with theft"
So I encourage EVERYONE to steal any piece attributed to these artists or videotape yourself destroying it and then post the videotape on youtube as art.
All smells like PR bullshit as much as art. But then PR bullshit is an art form of its own.
YAWN.
I say again...YAWN.
Now sell it to some rich douche bag and make a bunch of money. THAT is art of course. Con artistry, vandalism--hell paint on a wall, that is great --but what they claim to do is steal pieces from other artists and then exhibit them as art. Even if it IS made up bullshit. It is liable to encourage some other asshole with a can of spray paint and a dream Just tired crap--a story over form, over function.
YAWWWWN.
This is as close as I get to criticism. If I had known more about this? I would have take a piss on this piece. If I see any more by them I will do so. Unless I need to take a dump.
