MetaConstruct Manifesto:

annihilation poetics and amagideon art in an authoritarian 
and antagonistic age

<http://www.bbrace.net/M-scans/M-scans.html>

   Contemporary "Artworld artists" on the self-aggrandizing 
circuit, are invariably reduced to illustrating and 
trivializing popular political opinions under the deceitful 
guise of creating clever cultural currency and cloying 
"relevancy." Are you just as amazed to learn that apparently 
most of these (disingenuous)  "artists" today have regular 
commercial gallery exhibits, international representation, 
government funding, cushy teaching jobs, critical support, 
duplicitous colleagues, fancy homes and professional 
studios/supplies?... (While basic necessities are routinely 
denied to many of us our entire working-lives by creepy, 
arrogant Artworld and Corporate despots...) Accordingly, my 
MetaConstruct installations can now only occur in the 
aftermath of significant cultural devastation -- gutted, 
globalized galleries, crucified curators, fraudulent 
Arts-funding and the hoax of institutional Art-history...

In the 20+ years since my last public installation, these 
various, modest components have continued to be developed 
beyond their depicted states here/online. Obviously, 
increasingly corrupt and incestuous Art Institutions cannot 
be trusted to exhibit and support, fine integral work that 
enables idioms rather than regurgitated 
stylistic/ideological constraints and apologetics...

   Perhaps, at-heart, this work was always an independent 
aspiration seeking intimate constellar conditions for its 
long-regarded re-entry into a respectable realm -- poised as 
it was, on the perpetually charred cultural rubble of the 
present -- but we still yearn for righteous revenge, 
equitable access to resources, and an end to irresponsible, 
supercilious, cabalistic, cultural imperialism.
