why do i get that imperial decadence of old pompeii vibe from this stuff now? why do the rooms have to be so huge? why does every inch of them need to be covered with stuff? why do i get a panic attack when i go to massmoCA? why am i such a jerk?
i don't think you can even be an artist in america these days and be taken seriously unless you own your own skyjack.
you can post cool skyjack action photos here if you want.

I remember this from 20 or so years ago, at LA's MOCA. It was my first of these, and was kind of impressive. Jason Rhodes, Swedish Erotica and Fiero Parts.

i think it probably says more about me that i sometimes think that big art is a cry for help of sorts.

and i totally understand the filling the emptiness thing.

If it looks cool, like that wolf thing, i'm in favour.
If it's just a room of boring crap, like that Jason rhodes thing, I'm against.
