[NetBehaviour] Read this about Gilbert & George in the Evening Standard yesterday

[manik]

...it's not insignificant to tell that 40 years ago G&G weren't part of some 
'corporate art'...world was different and beside CIA art/see M.Andre 
memories and interviews/most of artist were naive enough to believe that art 
could change The World...but power of spin doctors was faster than huge 
and,in hierarchy,conservative 'world of art'...corporatation  'see' faster 
and better because they bought best people in that branch...G&G became 
symbol of sexual hipper-freedom/in compare with hippie sex. 
revolution/...same as Hearst take death and pills,body of death and 
'medicine body'/beside 'body of low-you must identify you self in quart of 
low,body of termination/with numbers and lists/...and so on...'corporative 
art' make mental simulation of danger,body of animal/ Oleg Kulik- 
man-dog/...no matter is he state or corporate artist he have specific rule 
in system of power distribution...Ai Wei.. make fake ancient jar with cola 
sign on it and with this work he melt West and Chinese art in something 
new...beside-that new is more 'Neo-Modern' in 'look' than post-modern...all 
those things belong to 'power of corporation/of course you should considered 
some state as *corporation*,why not/...idealistic projection about artist in 
cave who reach nirvana/art by meditation is really story for kids...like 
mine who picking from soil some new and exclusive issue will find reflexion 
in some art form...maybe last two genial painters/people who make miracle 
with colors and brashes-L.Freud and Basquiat are dead/...theres so many 
interesting artists who are very good with what they do/Chinese who have 
people who laugh,with same expression on face,Yoyoi, Koons...and many 
other...world today is full of good artists and good art...but not more than 
that...but that *more* was from Gioto,or Rublev something we looking for in 
art...MANIK...MARCH...2012...

I really, really, really do believe that they are acting, and that they
decided to do so four decades ago. I admire their constancy. And I think
that they are aesthetically interesting because of their social
aesthetics. This is perilously close to them being interesting because
of their politics, but I plead irony in their defence.

I also believe that this is not in any way above criticism given how the
world has changed in the last four decades.
