Critical Relation to Social Spaces

hmmm, i like the idea of disrupting the art gallery, as in douglas gordons work. i believe art has gone astray in general.. yes this art creates 'relationl microterritories displayed in the depth of the contemporary 'socius' but how much ofit is actually seen by the general public.. or is that not the point? is it relational to only galleries and/or those who choose to invlove themselves in the art world and does the greater public understand the motives if they even know what is going on... if it is social relations i dont think it should so much be something of 'art'.. in that sense this blogging can be made as an artwork.. maybe if we got on our iphones or on facebook and sent msgs to each other in the conext of a gallery or in 'the name of art' maybe that would make it an artwork? does dressing up in a pink bunny suit make an artwork out of that man or/and make the artist.. an artist? is it just art relating to society rather than a commentary on little social microcosms... earning millions of dollars for an artwork or the artwork of a deadman 100 years ago is not art either, because of the price of paper connected to it.. i like this art because it is ephemeral.. like society...but its like jumping fads in little micro societies where people get too caught up in their mountains made out of moleshit.. like doc martins to raybans... i think art personal art should be shared amongst those who wish to see outside of a gallery, and if its working for society then set up food stall called 'art' and hand uot food to the homeless rather than set up a pad for artists to chill in.. i think the art world is bullshit.. i think society is bullshit. as if being in the roselyn oxely gallery is some privaledge.. .. rich people make art, like victors write history.. im not an artist and never will consider myself one. i make colours go together with a furry stick and that equals
$ 34132413,1234234,23423. keep it real and sane please, excuse the massive whinge.

i enjoy artists like stelarc.. i think that is pioneering social interface and social relations to its peak.. where the internet is commonplace to the extreme. i think his works are ahead of time, people nowadays are continuously getting touchy with their laptops and radiation emitting hand machines so i dont doubt there will be more of a rise of this commentary of the relation between art as society or society as art... people should move on from their locality.. arts traditions have changed but not that of the little microcosms we live in.. if thats the point of this art.. to alter our foundations then hoorah so be it..
but in the end what do i know
