Scary Art

Post by goathead » Sun May 15, 2011 6:21 am

Any art scare you in the past years?

The Big Rig Jig, loved it, but I found I just couldn't stand to be around it.
With all of the people climbing on it I just knew someone would fall to their death.

No desire to see that at all.

Yep, just add 15 or 20 kids climbing ALL over it.
Don't know if anyone got hurt on it.
But I know some art pieces in the past have been real bone breakers.

You build it, and they will climb all over it.....

i haven't seen any "scary" art at burning man, i have seen a lot of bad art. art to only appease the gods of the paycheck. either that or just rehash of what has been done in the movies and redone as original.

all hail dollars and cents, the gods of the burnt out person.

the "show" has become a rerun of the same thing over and over. nothing new. and a huge scam to make money. i read yesterday that burning man was recession proof. that article is all about money and that what burning man is. money and suckers providing the bar.

art is not a statement. it is a lie. art is one. art.

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

It is kinda cute, but I wouldn't want to see that thing scurrying down my hallway at night with glowing red eyes.

Dude that is AWESOME!

You did the invitation to your own wedding?

And, wait, aren't you the guy who got talked into coming to Burning Man by his future ex-wife?

Dammit Bill what the fuck is wrong with these women??? I do not understand how so many of these really great guys on here can be single.

That is my ex wife. She's the one who wanted to go to Burning Man. When we split, she said I was "Too into Burning Man."
