The return of the Holy Horsemen

Aesthetical Abuses of Truth,

Abusive Aesthetics of Truth.

 

True Abusive Aesthetics,

True Aesthetical Abuses.

 

As a consequence of the development of capitalism and the resulting socialisation of art, art lost its fundaments with its original ritual and magical practise.

Classifying magic and ritual under religion, during the process, art was dragged to at the side of governing power, and agresively untied.

 

Artists distinguishing between the aesthecial and ethical responsibilities the crafting of a work of art implies, think and behave as souverain of these responsiblities.[c.q. ÔresponsariumÕ, a place to answer.]

 

The aesthetical and the ethical overtaken by social institutions , governments, administrations and the like.

 

The autonomous position it should have in creating beauty and lust left behind.

 

ÔHolyÕ [Heilig, German] has no meaning anymore, rationalizing , researches, the effects of city regenartion/gentrification, researching culture as another form of commodity, sell, profibility, return on investment have replaced this.

 

Rrejecting to connect with society as a creative attitude o is , when society is not governing aesthetical and ethical values.

 

The time for art has come to denounce its bond with society and to reflect on art itself.

 

This time has come. The time to completely untie every bond with society for art saek. No more falsifying reality views no more hypes no more social software no more web 2,0 noi more creativee ciries no more second life no mote mtv no more glasow no more docklands m=no more art councils no more medi lbs no me=ore citizens participations no morte 

 

It is the return of the Holy Horsemen , the return of the shingn lights , the sparkling star the wet meadows, the dirty feet, the dirty hands, the smell, the rotten fleshm the darrk cornerts, the inappropiate behavgiuors, the subversions, the strewm of consciuopsnes/

 

The manifeswt the stutter the incomplete the half build thje imperfections, the abnortmal the lunatics the insane , the wise , th eholy, the readers, the seeers the dooers,, the hearese.
