Live connection to individual people. It’s not just information that gets shared online, it’s live validation from actual people. And this is just an assumption, but I’m assuming that orders, threats, and/or promises of rewards (in the afterlife or for one’s surviving family members) are also an important part of the…
Facebook exists to make money. Much like Penn State, the Catholic Church, any Kardashian or the Trump administration, unless there are monetary-based reasons to do something substantive, you can expect fuck all to be done. That’s how Facebook got to be a billion dollar business.
Yet again, Hazel, you fail to point out that this sculpture was intended to be a jungle-gym in a family friendly park where children would literally be clambering on a gallows for fun. This would have been an entirely inappropriate piece for the space and the community, which obviously includes Native people. So The…
I’ll be a philistine as throw in that, in addition to the Native people, the owners, AND the artist wanting this thing gone, it also isn’t some huge loss. Pictures of it still exist, if someone desperately needs to see some weird jungle-gym made out of 2x4s. It doesn’t seem all that different from sculptures that are…
White privilege is exactly what this is. It’s textbook white privilege. My arbitrary sensibilities about art is more important than the tangible oppression me and my kind just love fetishizing.

There is just a TON of white privilege in the “but, but, AAAAAART!” takes on this subject.
Reading the comments from the previous article (and I’m willing to bet this article as well) I just have to repeat the fact that I’m positive I would not get along with the majority of the people who read this site. It’s really easy to spout off with meaningless platitudes about “art” and how sacred art is when there…
I have burnt my art.
Think of it as a spiritual cleansing— or like a Tibetan Healing Mandala. Because the artist has agreed to allow this to happen, the act of burning becomes a kind of completion of the work. His statement was that it was part of his intention to help or compel white people to experience these stories so that they could…
OMG Your comment just made me lol at work @6:51am. Thank you!
I would first have to explain Twitter, then have to explain a bot....
They knew all about it. They picked him on purpose for “drama.” Drama, by the way, now means hideously racist crap used to make the “star” of your show feel wretched, exposed and used because hey, ratings.
How many white guys are on the show? About twenty? Is it even possible to find twenty white guys without one having said racist things in the past?
Like I said when all of a sudden Trump got all his fake followers earlier this week, Twitter needs to do that audit that they did a few years ago. Remember when they deleted all of the fakes, bots, etc. Then all of a sudden all these famous people had about half of the twitter followers that they had before? It was…
Just for fun, I’m going to try to explain this story to my mom.
Is this a surprise to anyone? As soon as these services became available, I assume anyone wanting mass credibility and popularity would buy social media followers.
