    Sometimes, even performance art can suck. It doesn’t all have to be “appreciated” or “misunderstood”. It can just be what it is- hot garbage.

    Not everyone is an artist just because they want to be.

      Hard disagree. Anyone is an artist if they want to be. Whether anyone likes the work is a separate issue.

          I’m an installation artist. Most recently I’ve built large pens and fenced in some fields to fill with livestock. I then raise and sell said livestock. It’s a take on how capitalism reduces all of us to the sum of our parts. No one really connects with the message of it though so I have to get by on what I can get for the meat.

            Cool! I do that too! The exact same thing! Never learned how, just decided that I’m an installation artist and I’m going to tell everyone that this is what I do and they’ll all defend me against anyone that tries to say otherwise because its art!

              No, that can’t be! First you have to go to installation artist school and get approval from the other learned installation artists and then they will give you an installation artist license and with that you can finally call yourself an installation artist and call other people installation art posers.

                Nope. No school required, no skill required, I’m an installation artist just like you!
