Online Pretentious College Art Wank
Bardcollege is an lj comm for a small liberal arts college in midstate New York. Bard College is full of art idiots (I say this as a sophomore at said institute look to transfer to an art school). Usually an entry will get a max of 20 replies if it's a big important one. This one got 99.

stroudsterb decides he's an art critic. Not that this is a wonderous piece of art, but Bard is full of people who think they know art, so many rush to defend the minimalist 'art'.

Lots of people agree and others rush in to tell him he's an idiot. All of which is, of course, constructive art critique.

Drama is cheap art

theoriginal points out how this wank itself is what makes the two parallel lines art, which is possibly the closest thing to art discussion that happens.

cuntcumber talks about shitting paint

They also bring in the everpressent question at Bard about a 'sculpture' of three large spinning red circles that we have rather unaffectionately named the 'Kotex Statue' for it being a constant reminder of the bouncing red dot in the Kotex commercial. It's not interesting enough to warrant me searching for it through the muck, but whenever someone at Bard brings up the 'What is Art?' argument, the Kotex Statue is always brought up, because it's the uggliest thing on campus after the price-of-a-small-country-and-leaks-anyway Performing Arts Center
