I have no idea what corner of the art world this idiot is coming from...I’ve seen some poorly though out art, but never anything so blatantly cruel to a family.

It is tricky, however I think in certain circumstances the artist’s background does impact the statement a piece makes. For example, there was a female artist who did a series of paintings with her own menstrual blood. Would the statement be the same if a man did so? I would argue no.
It has sparked a discussion of her lack of talent, creativity & original thought.
Honey, this is not art. This is exploitation. You are beyond stupid, arrogant, and disgusting to think this is in any way an idea that should be made to exist.
Ugh, this. I had a hate relationship with one of my art photography teachers in college because he believed the only art was art that created conversation or controversy. He gave me Cs for content at times even when something was technically correct, because I didn’t want to make it about dicks (everything was phallic…
Plus, this clunky mannequin in a sterile gallery setting has the effect of minimizing the real horror. The artist might as well have built a shoebox diorama with a Ken doll corpse.
Good fucking lord. I’m going to call a convention of my fellow white women artists with panels and lectures like “Can We Please Not” and “Stop it.” You have to accept that, as an artist, things you show publicly with your name attached are inherently about YOU as well as about the contents of what you show. People are…
The artist is quoted as saying, “we’re living in a society of very complicated systems that create advantages for white people, and disadvantages for others. That’s what my work is about.” You know, like cultural systems where people display recreations of your dead child.
This is tasteless, exploitative, gross disgusting, and I hope the artist can find it deep from within themselves to go fuck a chainsaw. I can’t believe this exists....I can’t believe it got greenlit by the museum!
Alright, so obviously this installation is meant to grab attention and upset people. I think if it were done by a black artist with the consent of Brown’s whole family, it could maybe work. But a white artist and Brown’s father not being on board pushes this into horrible territory.
Maybe you could also include a link to the statement from this actual real person’s father?
Little did she know that she’s showing the ultimate of white privilege by making an exhibit out of a dead black person. #StopWhitePeople2015

Donald Trump aside, can we please stop paying attention to these bizarre archaic pageants? They’re embarrassing.
I am so over the “music is dead” thing. We get it. You don’t like current pop music. Make something good or stfu.
Can we send them both into the sun? please?
When people proclaim music dead, all they’re telling us is that they’ve entered the “Get off mah lawn!” stage of life.
Who gives a shit what Kim Gordon says?
It’s been just over a year since Lana Del Rey released her sophomore album Ultraviolence, the Dan Auerbach-produced…
