Ooh, and we get a classic illustration of a gross troll being gross!

These are actual human beings that I’ve met on multiple occasions and spoken to at length about their policies and procedures, which I’m expected to be able to explain to students and staff as part of my job.
I thought “Carry that Weight” had gravitas and simplicity reminiscent of Felix Gonzalez-Torres. I think almost everything she’s done since has, while at times comes across a little ‘on the nose,’ has empathetic and communicative potential worthy of her time doing it. She’s a very young artist, getting national…
Where did I say anyone couldn’t write their opinion? What I said was A) That neither Emma, nor most of the readership of Jezebel, gives a fuck about half-assed “criticism” of Sulkowicz’s work when we all know why all these trolls really are so upset about her; and B) there are much more enjoyable and productive things…
Because they’re part of the conspiracy with... some person they met once at a party.
I get your criticism, but I don’t think it’s a fair assessment here as that’s just her body. It’s not like she sought out models to do the performance.
Marcuse has a bone to pick with your definition of art. Art is THE tool for revolution.
Jezebel gets to write about whatever they want. They don’t actually owe it to you, or any readers, to cover every single artist out there, no matter how much more deserving someone might find them. This site has been following Sulkowicz’s case since very early on, there’s no reason for them not to mention this work as…
As I’ve mentioned before, your opinion of my views means less than nothing to me. If you actually looked into the workings of Title IX offices, you would find that, nearly universally, their role in practice is to protect the schools, especially more prestigious schools. Title IX employees are paid by the school, it…
I dunno. Every time I hang out with my friends there is at least one minority present, so maybe it’s a reflection of reality?
Actually I have trainings with the Columbia Title IX office every year as part of my position and yes, they’re all full of shit and are making no changes whatsoever to try to do better by assault victims. I literally ask about this every year and their main concern is getting sued or losing federal funding, that’s it.…
I’m not here to debate the case with you, I don’t give any fucks what rape apologists think of it. He assaulted multiple people but Sulkowicz is the bad guy, yeah. You can fuck right off with that, save it for your MRA circle jerk.
It literally just describes Sulkowicz’s latest project and puts it in context. There is no part of the article that comments on the quality of the art itself or Sulkowicz as an artist, so I’m not sure where you’re seeing “undeserved gravitas.” You all are getting your knickers in a bunch because Sulkowicz is getting…
Hoo boy, Cathy Young’s reporting was a massive faceplant. The guy has no evidence except for some Facebook messages (and the screenshots, not the messages) where Sulkowicz is being nice to him.
Anyone notice all the minorities in TV/movies that have been released in the past year or 2?
your posting history, if not begs, implies to differ.
Christen Clifford just showed really good work addressing her own rape in a show called Incision at PES in Newark. It was good art. You should check it out. (This is not a comment on Emma Sulkowicz; I’ll leave that to all of you.)
I disagree. I think she’s a great performance artist. She’s doing wonderful performance art. And if we’re gonna do that thing where we compare our Artiness in order to be worthy of having Opinions On Art, I’m a working artist with an MFA from a top tier Art School, currently working and teaching at a university level…
Only among asshole rape apologists.
The trolls on this article are fucking gross. If you all are as disdainful toward Sulkowicz as you claim to be, maybe consider directing your energies toward some hobbies or something useful instead of obsessing over them in the comments section of a website you clearly don’t even like. Guess what - there are…
