Jesus Christ. Would you people who hate modern art stop whining over every little thing? Or at least stop plastering your angst and boo-hooing all over every means of internet distribution you can find.
This had got to be the most boring and unprofessional interview I think I've ever seen ................ shame on you Damien are you that desperate to talk talk talk talk?
Hirst's work is like this ultimate memento mori, and the salience of it is enforced by its actual life in the world, where you have to be the richest motherfucker to buy his shit, and all he gives you is this reminder that your money can't free you. Moreover, everyone throws a fit about his vitrines, but his full portfolio is quite varied, and while some of it's shit, some of it is very poetic, and he says himself that it's the whole of a career that's important, not individual works.
I mean, I don't even think his ideas are that simple; there are still plenty of artists out there painting idyllic landscapes or abstract figures with no underlying content and they don't get the kind of flak Hirst does. I think, if there's one summarizing theme to Hirst's work it's that you can have all the money, all the medication and jewelry in the world, keep your whole life in a tight little controlled box, and just like everyone else, you're still going to die.
My asshole, bullshitting cousin is an artist specialising in conceptual, 3-D works.
There was great controversy over his College graduation piece- a series of naked human torsos arranged in improbable & intimate ways (having sex, giving birth etc). Everyone thought they were fantastically well-made, until the College discovered they were unclaimed Asian road-accident victims, ‘preserved’ & shipped over.
After a week they began to decay, filling the gallery with flies & a vile stench.
will u all shut the FUCK up about hating hirst, its cool and traditional to hate hirst. u think he sets the prices? NO u do, cos u all want his work so bad the price rockets so high. but u say " i could do that " as hirst replies " but u didnt did u? " its so fuckin true. look past the physical piece. i always think modern art is philosophy portrayed through something simple. if u hate hirst u either dont understand the idea behind it or ur an arse
@johnnyXsniper Technically the people who set the prices are not the proverbial "you" (or "u" as you put it) of the common people, but the ultra-wealthy and the gallery directors who cater to them, i.e. the last people who would be reading Youtube comments. The brilliant undercurrent of Hirst's work is that he readily realizes how the market works, plays to it while at the same time making obvious jokes at the expense of his patrons and still they buy into it nonetheless. More clever than most.
@RamadaArtist i didnt look at it that way, i guess it is him taking the piss in a way as u say, showing the art world these very simplistic ideas and them scooping them up for millions
Do you know why i think hes amazing? because noone of you would have the bollocks to do what he does people call him stupid but hes a millionaire hes started a revolution in contemperary art and opened the flood gates.
VINCENT VAN GOGH I COMMAND YOU TO RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE AND DISPOSE THE EARTH OF THESE CLOWNS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER SENSIBILITY OF LIFE TO CREATE GREAT ART!
how would any of the posters here like to compare the spin art to the movie Avatar ???. Actually the spin art was done long ago, like decades ago and was the general thought and plans for the digital version now known as the movie Avatar. Try looking at it using the Galactic Mantra (version) DJ Photon. Critique that if you dare. BTW an opinion is not a thought DUH
Eww I wish he'd fuck off. Nothing should die for his "art". He's one of the world's most successful bullshitters and this stupid woman is lapping it up.
@maleslate That chav? Or Genius?...In the words of Andy Warhol, art is what you can get away with, to me he's not as skilled many but is 1000 times more clever, he went for the shock and awe route and it's a route that see's him as the richest living artsist in the world.
@WoebringerofDoom how can you possibly say that?! Francis Bacon created some of the most provactive and telling studies of the human condition. Damien Hirst is a tacky hybrid of Bacon and commercialism.
The attempt to collapse all cultural meaning into mere simulacra was the excuse behind the GREED of 80’s Art market: that Art no longer had any purpose beyond it’s promotion. Damien Hirst is an old 80s whore, a Homer Simpson, surviving into the 90s, dragging intellectual Artistic civilsation back to a hoary stone Age. I personally cannot wait until the sub-prime reality of his crap, plagiarised merchandise hits him slap in the gonads. Maggot breathed cretin.
Bacon would trash Damien Hirst for being a vapid marketing nitwit - he trashed a lot of other artists in his time for less.
'They're like album cover stuff...' 'You need a lot of work to get to that rembrandt stuff...bacon showed me anyone can do it.'
Yeah. So never-mind that Bacon spent a great deal of agonizing time and effort crafting his work. Fuck you, you vapid little tart. There aren't enough zeroes in the world to make a paycheck big enough to make your work worth more than shit.
This is the what you get when you allow the group of nefarious social engineers to take over Culture and turn it into what they want. Culture and Art become nothing but a tool to turn our world into a sea of meanlingless, atheism and indifference. Worse is yet to come...
@thegreatfearblog That's grossly unfair - atheism is not inherently meaningless. Anyway, your complaints about art stem largely from how the art 'world' as we know it in populist culture has become a marketing machine based on the church of the almighty dollar. Something that has plagued art throughout history - it can be argued that though it is exquisitely crafted, the church-sponsored propaganda of the renaissance for example is essentially another form of bad art made for marketing.
@HisEmptyHouse I didn't say atheism IS always meaningless, but that the world they're crafting is both meaningless AND atheistic. I would like to know what church-sponsored propaganda you refer to was a form of bad art. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel? The Pieta by Michelangelo?
re 1:25 pov.....probably why Hirst is an artist and all others who subscribe to the 'thats not art, why a child of 5 could do it' in fact cant and are probably still pumpimg gas for a living.
"Lucky for me, when I went to art school we were a generation where we didn't have any shame about stealing other people's ideas. You call it a tribute". - Damien Hirst at 3:40.
this is not art, this is a shit. must to exist limits. the limit is the life, those animals are not object of art, are dead animals...just that. I hope wasn¨t dead FOR to make "art" .. :(
@seth2342 - Wow. Kid, who are you trying to impress? me or yourself?! Attend your mediocre art schools in the states and show in NY as anyone can..Lesson 1. lose the ego. 2. learning about art from books is like learning to swim on a sofa.
Look around.how common and typical is your youtube respnses?! Pathetic. You have no idea who you are talking to. Believe it.
@seth2342 : You are childish. You confuse ego with arrogance. I am certainly arrogant for a reason and it is justified. Standards have lowered tremendously, all is kitsch nonsense. Screaming is not singing...those who would feel it to be are ignorant as to what singing is and what is involved.
You think you are walking the walk? Nobody who genuinely sacrifices and pursues an artform behaves as you do. You compare Rembrandt to Hirst, Bacon?! Go away.
@seth2342 Go back to the studio and stay there. You are a spectator. You are technique as prescribed by the dictation of an expert. You signify the decadence of art. You must be quite prestigious to have experienced the immense honour of having your work critiqued by detestable art critics who write for various Art Journals that warrant no more than a passing mention of disgust.
Your participation in art shows means nothing. Kitsch is found everywhere.
@seth2342 You essentially just validated everything said against you. The least that can be said, given the presented discourse, is that you are naive. Art is dead. The studio is a morgue. I don't give a fuck who you are. Sorry for the hard words...
Lastly, it appears as if you misunderstood my charge of you being a mere spectator. I would like to retract that claim because even a spectator posses insight, not matter how spectacular it may be. I don't need to see your art because I've seen
"Ok, what art isn't first conceived in a studio, name some for me. I know they exist, but 99.99% of all art ever created has been done in a studio or at least planned there. "
Well, I could respond but your psychoanalytic projections are sufficient. You may perceive my comment as pretentious and ambiguous but that is a function if your ignorance. Of course you know nothing of spectatorship and situation construction - you're a student, a spectator. The spectator reference is...
@seth2342 No, art is dead. I can't tell if you are homophobic or are trying to make me feel uncomfortable, but I'm queer as fuck. The last thing I want to do is play grab ass with a limp rag art student at Pratt. You continued to make it a point that my comments were pretentious and ambiguous but the extent of your responses leads me to reasonably believe that you're simply an idiot unable of comprehending content. I would just loveeee to see your masters work.
@seth2342 I don't know that you've pointed any so-called cracks in my thinking out at all, you've simply just been ignorant to references you could have easily looked up if you didn't know them. I don't hate you in the slightest, I'm not attacking you personally as you did me, I am attacking your ideas. What do you mean by potential? Do you paint? What is your medium? Or are you just another bourgeois student 'artist' who the critics just adore?
@seth2342 First of all, thank you for the recommendation, I will look them up soon, I haven't much time at the moment. Furthermore, the concepts I evoked were not random quotes from occult journals hidden in random libraries in obscure colleges, those are foundational concepts that can be found in most dada, surrealist, avant garde theory. I suppose I'm more interested in the concepts than the visuals. As for the death of art - is there anything new to do?
@seth2342 The spectator reference is in regards to Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle. The Dadaists where saying 'art is dead' since the 20s. You're in art school? You're working on a Ph.D in art? What school do you go to?
@seth2342 ...enough art already. There is nothing new. The only art is the creation of situations. The studio is a circuit of repression inhibiting any flow one might have once possessed. For the record, Damien Hirst is a shit head. (I realize I am logged on a different account - this is 'lovexandxrage'). Art assembled in a studio is akin to fucking in a pornographic film, it may have the appearance as such, but it does not go beyond.
@seth2342 : You are not worth my time. I have a tremendous amount to "back it up". You are very immature and sad. You embarrass me and you embarrass yourself. Nothing more. You are no artist and you abuse the term. I maintain studios in Italy and Berlin, and possess more experience in the visual arts than you can dream or create.
You are not interested in an intelligent argument and are not capable. Glad you feel "gooood"..see how far your childishness takes you.
Describing him as a second rate Bacon is a flattering exaggeration. He's a hack. Hearing him talk about his work lets me know that he is a moron as well. The art world needs to pick better golden boys than this.
i acually liked damien hirst until i heard about him and this graffiti artist cartrain. he sued the guy for using an image of the skull???? disney should sue all artists who use mickey mouse in collages??? should the toilet maker sue duchamp??? using found images is a crime?? we can use anyone's face and we cant use the skull??? r u kidding me, is he claiming copyright?? he has never heard of collage?? hirst has made paintings based on photos from newspapers. did he ask for permission?
Damien, Damien, Damien look mate tell me man to man and i promise it wont go any further honest, serious I wont tell anyone else, promise, you are taking the piss arent you come on mate admit it youre having a big laugh on all of us arent you.
4.17- hopefully Damien Hursts passion for understanding suicide, from the "heavy" books he reads, will inspire him to kill himself so the wasted money spent on his trash can be retreived and used in these hard times..... financial crisis, haiti earthquake.... then again his 'team' (of sick labradores) would find a way of retaining the value of his carcass shit. :D
At one point when he was on drugs/alcoholic he was very crazy. Doing stupid things to the public, paparazzi and stuff. I think he's clean now but alot has happened to him, ya know? You'd calm down to if your best friend died.
The reverance that all those who interview him give is astonishing. Ditto Emin...when you listen to them talk, the thing that comes across is the Dullness. The embarrassingly lame and cliched art school explanations! The awkward, stuttering stupidity of there um-ing and er-ing. I wouldn't mind so much if they were admitted pranksters with a political agenda, some semblance of revolutionary critique or SOMETHING, but they're just such conservative (in every sense of the word) numpties!
He's rich.. So's the queen, David Beckham, the chairman of Unilever, JK Rowling, the House of Saud, Bill Gates, the owners of Wal-Mart, Jordan.And so what?What has that got to do with 'art'?
he is an idiot but he is the most wealthy living artist of the 20th century. He claims that art is not in the execution but the conception yet he has been trialed and sued for multiple "appropriations" or direct stealings of other artists work. Art is in the eye of the beholder and the world picks its artists. It doesnt matter what he produces, steals, or gets assistants to create, he is one of the "best artists" of this century... Thankyou postmodernism
He looks shifty - watch his body language and lack of eye contact.
Damien Hirst is just a sensationalist cashing in on the stupid media fascination with diced cows, or whatever it is he does. On a level with Gunter von Haagens (the Bodyworks ghoul).
Ignore this trash and admitre and support the work of the countless REAL artists working in the UK who rarely get any publicity.
And, BTW, I knew Damien when he was an art student at Goldsmiths in 1989.
This is More of a ArtShock Sideshow of other People's Ideas than Mere personal expressions & just another way to Play with the Rich&Dumb's Emotions.

You continued to make it a point that my comments were pretentious and ambiguous but the extent of your responses leads me to reasonably believe that you're simply an idiot unable of comprehending content. I would just loveeee to see your masters work.

@seth2342 I don't know that you've pointed any so-called cracks in my thinking out at all, you've simply just been ignorant to references you could have easily looked up if you didn't know them. I don't hate you in the slightest, I'm not attacking you personally as you did me, I am attacking your ideas. What do you mean by potential? Do you paint? What is your medium? Or are you just another bourgeois student 'artist' who the critics just adore?

@seth2342 First of all, thank you for the recommendation, I will look them up soon, I haven't much time at the moment. Furthermore, the concepts I evoked were not random quotes from occult journals hidden in random libraries in obscure colleges, those are foundational concepts that can be found in most dada, surrealist, avant garde theory. I suppose I'm more interested in the concepts than the visuals. As for the death of art - is there anything new to do?

@seth2342 The spectator reference is in regards to Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle. The Dadaists where saying 'art is dead' since the 20s. You're in art school? You're working on a Ph.D in art? What school do you go to?
Debordsbullet 1 year ago
@seth2342 ...enough art already. There is nothing new. The only art is the creation of situations. The studio is a circuit of repression inhibiting any flow one might have once possessed. For the record, Damien Hirst is a shit head. (I realize I am logged on a different account - this is 'lovexandxrage'). Art assembled in a studio is akin to fucking in a pornographic film, it may have the appearance as such, but it does not go beyond.

@seth2342 : You are not worth my time. I have a tremendous amount to "back it up". You are very immature and sad. You embarrass me and you embarrass yourself. Nothing more. You are no artist and you abuse the term. I maintain studios in Italy and Berlin, and possess more experience in the visual arts than you can dream or create.
You are not interested in an intelligent argument and are not capable. Glad you feel "gooood"..see how far your childishness takes you.

Describing him as a second rate Bacon is a flattering exaggeration. He's a hack. Hearing him talk about his work lets me know that he is a moron as well. The art world needs to pick better golden boys than this.

4.17- hopefully Damien Hursts passion for understanding suicide, from the "heavy" books he reads, will inspire him to kill himself so the wasted money spent on his trash can be retreived and used in these hard times..... financial crisis, haiti earthquake.... then again his 'team' (of sick labradores) would find a way of retaining the value of his carcass shit. :D

The reverance that all those who interview him give is astonishing. Ditto Emin...when you listen to them talk, the thing that comes across is the Dullness. The embarrassingly lame and cliched art school explanations! The awkward, stuttering stupidity of there um-ing and er-ing. I wouldn't mind so much if they were admitted pranksters with a political agenda, some semblance of revolutionary critique or SOMETHING, but they're just such conservative (in every sense of the word) numpties!

he is an idiot but he is the most wealthy living artist of the 20th century. He claims that art is not in the execution but the conception yet he has been trialed and sued for multiple "appropriations" or direct stealings of other artists work. Art is in the eye of the beholder and the world picks its artists. It doesnt matter what he produces, steals, or gets assistants to create, he is one of the "best artists" of this century... Thankyou postmodernism

He looks shifty - watch his body language and lack of eye contact.
Damien Hirst is just a sensationalist cashing in on the stupid media fascination with diced cows, or whatever it is he does. On a level with Gunter von Haagens (the Bodyworks ghoul).
Ignore this trash and admitre and support the work of the countless REAL artists working in the UK who rarely get any publicity.
And, BTW, I knew Damien when he was an art student at Goldsmiths in 1989.
