anyone seen Kara Walker's installation in the domino sugar factory, A Subtly? I'll post the images if not. She built a 35 ft high, 75 ft long sugar coated mammy Spinx over the summer. I bring this up now because she recently gave an interview with Ava DuVernay talking about it. In the interview she brought up the hashtag where people posted some 'questionable' selfies on social media. She said that the reaction on social media didn't surprise her at all.

Immature, but average janes and joes aren't going to think too deeply on artistic expression (not that this was particulary deep or thoughtful). Think any large nude depiction would have gotten similar dumb pics.

I know. She anticipated that though and made it apart of the piece with the hashtag.

You don't think this piece was thoughtful?

If I had to think of a mocking juxtaposition of contemporary black art that's what I would come up with.

Egyptian corollary - check
Inversion of racist tropes - check
Nudity - check

Only missing an accompanying piece with a black man carrying the globe.

I vehemently disagree with that. That honestly sounds a simplistic and narrow criticism and very silly of you to say imo. How can you make commentary on racists tropes and black female sexuality with out, well, racists tropes and black female sexuality? Putting things into tropes and then subsequently dismissing it because it fits into a trope is lazy criticism.

Anyway, for one thing I would say this being installed in the Domino sugar factory in gentrified ass williamsburg, in which the factory itself is being torn down itself in favor of condos is a whole message in itself.

I mean it's better than the first, but that's not really much of an accomplishment. The first movie was fucking horrible.

It's a pretty dope Punisher movie. Frank Grillo should have held out to be Frank Castle instead of Crossbones in the MCU.

Guy asks why I felt a certain away about a piece, then when I provide reason, goes on to call me silly?

That's about the nicest thing I have to say in response to that.

I didn't call you silly, dude.

edit - I just thought we were having a discussion. I have no porblem with you and I think you're a cool dude. I just happened to disagree with what you said about the piece and expressed why. Yes, I said it was silly but I didn't take to insult your intelligence or call you silly. If you took it that way I'll say I am sorry but I honestly meant no harm. Just expected a discussion out of the topic I brought up here.

i don't know what i expected, but i'm impressed that this is exactly what it's described as, def shoula taken that nsfw notice more seriously

i personally don't care for "thoughtful" art full of "meaning" or the like, but it's a nice statue despite being a waste of sugar

Finally got off my ass and played Bayo 2

All it took was the prologue opening cinematic and I was all in

Just like the first game

Bro just bought it digital so I cancelled mine last week

but I'm feeling like ordering it now just to have it because of how much I'm enjoying it

I have my doubts about PG games going forward, but I can't believe I thought their problems would spill over into Bayonetta

Bruh did you think it would end up like MGR?
