Dan Colen and Kalup Linzy sharing a public kiss, naked.. Is this Art or just bad Taste?
Dan Colen and Kalup Linzy sharing, an oh too public kiss, naked..on a Billboard size image? Is this Art or just bad taste? Really for a straight Gagosian Artist, this is the best you can do, "Sweet Liberty"?
Well.. Maybe MAO is just a total prude being honest. But, am I the only person who thinks, some artists, should probably learn to paint better keep their clothes on if they want attention by the art world ?
There's almost nothing original about doing this, it's been done more tastefully so many times before. Like here, here and here, just to name a few.
In this Post-Gay world.. does anyone even care? If a Gay Tree Falls in the disco, no one even hears it. As an art gay mao-self, I'm a bit sadened by this PDA, aka.. Public Display for Attention!
And... Please... Dan Colen and Kalup Linzy try going to a gym puting some clothes on for your next exhibition!
Well, anyway, just click here to see the story and the pathetic photos.
Two Artists Kiss in the Buff on London Bridge
11.5.2014
BY JULIEN SAUVALLE
November 5 is a national holiday in the UK, commemorating Guy Fawks' failed attack on the Parliament House, in London. But today, the British capital became the stage of a different kind of celebration.
Displayed as a billboard-size image, the picture of Brooklyn-based artists Dan Colen and Kalup Linzy sharing a kiss, naked, in front of the Statue of Liberty, was unveiled on the city's London Bridge. "We feel it is our birthright to love without oppression or racism, things that have historically separated us," commented the two artists. "I think Kalup and I had a synchronised, inspired moment," Colen added.
The work, entitled "Sweet Liberty", hopes to disrupt familiar issues of identity politics and instead represent romance in its rawest, most rudimentary form.
MAO.. you're such a jerk!
