F*cking Art Students

[packinpatland]

Never thought I'd be saying I wasn't proud of the fact that my daughter will be graduating from Yale next month.........but.....
knowing what my daughter has had to got thru to submit her thesis, the constant contact with advisors and professors....what were they thinking????at what point could not one of her advisors had said...'maybe this might not be the best of ideas'................but hey, made the news didn't they?

YOu have it backwards, which is no surprise.

The fact that EDUCATED people, more educated in art than you i'm guessing...listened to her, approved her thesis, guided her...that tells me that it has validity.

Because you don't get it..and apply your standards doesn't mean it isn't valid.

I certainly am not going to list my credentials for being 'art educated'.....suffice to say I probably know more than you do but less than the professors who aprroved her idea for her thesis. As far as my 'standards' ................yes, I do have moral standards.......and they were offended by the fact that a great university, such as Yale, would allow a student to 'pull off' a stunt like this. And that is exactly how I see it....a stunt........nothing more, nothing less.
And Tyrone, I'm not going to argue with you.........because it won't matter what I say.........you are always right, right?

No, i'm not always right...but, you are often wrong.

Credentials: Interesting. Of course you won't list them. And, i find it hilarious that you think your's are better than mine. How so. I think that is the height of arrogance.

Not to mention saying you have morals..which implies others don't. More arrogance.

So, you admit your credentials don't match those of Yale's, yet you impose your value system on theirs. Interesting.

I find it best to leave the judgments to those with the credentials.

You are an incredible piece of work Tyrone.

Ty doesn't debate with vaginas....ty loves vagina.

class act.

But then again, the very difference between "performance art" and "cheap stunt" is the dressing. If you declare your provocative idea important enough, and if you overanalyze it and dress it up in fancy words, you still won't fool the people who have sense. But people with sense aren't your core audience.

Performance art? I'm not sure that I see much difference between this and the stunts from the Jackass crew. Maybe Steve-O and Johnny Knoxville are Professors at Yale?

There's pretty much no difference between this girl's stunt and the Jackass stunts, except in how they're being presented. That was my point. The Jackass people didn't dress up their stunts in fancy ten-dollar words and try to make them out as commentaries on the human condition, in order to fool snooty Yale professors and art benefactors into believing the stunts are "art". This girl obviously did.

Such is the difference, IMO, between cheap low-brow stunts and many instances of high-brow "performance art." They're scams that are meant to fool snobs like art professors and self-appointed cultural elitists.

I thought you didn't debate vaginas...?

I shoulda said, young(ish)...available vajajays!

George Bush is more EDUCATED than you. So, I expect to never again hear any comments regarding the Iraq war. Bush is more educated than you, so he knows better...correct?

How's that for validity?

Education often doesn't mean shit, Ty. You have to have money to be Ivy League, you don't need brains. GW is proof positive.

Bush isn't more educated than myself. Infact, since he and his grades in undergrad weren't better than mine and we studied the same topic..and since Wisco was top ten in history when i attended..i'd say i'm more educated in history than Bush.

Furthermore, your analogy is poor. Bush didn't study anything to do with Iraq in college.

Lastly, it was pretty evident that i'm talking about a specific field. Should i presume to know more about electrical engineering than someone who has studied it..or teaches it. Hilarious. Those professors have made their careers in art..and more importantly have reviewed hundreds of thesis applications. They have certainly denied some thesis applications or made students revise them.

Again, I choose to defer to their wisdom when it comes to determining whether her project fulfills the perf art requirments.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

It's a publicity stunt. Don't listen to Tyrone's idiotic babbling.

Who is denying that? I said that already...try at least to pay attention.

Get a sense of humor.

So, when you can't make an argument on merit...you resort to name calling.

Pretty much sums of your position.

Dude, you are the king of name calling.

Dude, you are the king of name calling.

I might name call within a thought out post. I don't ever just leave it as that.

But, i find your stalking me cute. Just can't stay away.

It really is. It really is.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

It really is. It really is.

I'll send you a poster of me. That way you can post it on your ceiling and masturbate.

I'm thinking of starting up a performance art project...such as me taking a crap on this thread.

As long as it fulfills the criteria: time, space, the performer's body and a relationship between performer and audience.
