rothko vandalized in the name of "yellowism"

""It's not art, it's not reality, it's just Yellowism," he said. "It can't be presented in a gallery of art, it can be presented only in a Yellowistic chambers."

what the fuck does that even mean

that manifesto is probably one of the stupidest things i've read all year

""It's not art, it's not reality, it's just Yellowism," he said. "It can't be presented in a gallery of art, it can be presented only in a Yellowistic chambers."

Duchamp: place anything in a gallery, boom, its art.
Vladimir Umanets: place any work of art in a yellowistic chamber, boom, its about yellow.

Previously, there was the level of 1. reality (you can piss in a urinal) and 2. art (you can display it in an art gallery and find meaning in it, analyze it, think about it etc...). Now there's 3. yellowism (you can display it in a yellowistic chamber, and boom, its about yellow and nothing more. there is no interpretation). Every work of art is potentially a work of yellowism just as every object is potentially a ready made.

..or so umanets says. Too bad he didn't just write in sharpie on duchamp's fountain... which could easily be erased.

in this types of cases it's usually forgotten that we need to distinguish between the question whether something is a work of art, and the question whether such an act (be it a form of art or not) is ethically justified. a couple of years ago there was this crazy case with a dog chained to one corner of a gallery while the food was put in the opposite one, and he starved to death unable to reach the food, and such issues popped up back then as well. so whether what this guy did on Rothko's painting was a work of art is an issue on its own, but i'd argue it should certainly be illegal since the price to pay for such types of actions is simply to high.

I agree. That said, I could be mistaken but I remember hearing that the dog in that case had some illness that was going to lead him to starvation anyway. They still could have euthanized him, though.

What Vladimir needs to do is lock himself in a yellowistic chamber. Then he is yellow and only yellow, and a color cannot be prosecuted.

If I remember correctly the dog didn't starve to death. It was a hoax.

Starving Dog Art

Some say the dog died, some say the dog was fed, some say the dog ran away.... sounds like the people writing the petition really got their facts straight before persecuting him

[Lane]

arresting him for starving the dog proves his point.

I really hope it's a hoax. Couldn't the idiot have starved himself instead?

Sorry to everyone who didn't make the cut.

I wish you didn't post material from that site, the window licking inhabitants from there deserve no attention.
Also, the great gothninja debate, only ~4 years late.

This is as bad as that post on that seduction forum about the "different levels of fashion". Not all trash should be recycled. And some people wonder why others don't post fits in the WAYWT thread.

Do share.
