Art Talk! - Dan Colen - Part 1

[hideouschud]

BLOW ME!

[hideouschud]

Blow Me?... Sounds about right...

[hideouschud]

CUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deejayhart]

His compadre Dash Snow died of a drug overdose. Dan Colen is plainly a cokehead and the art is bullshit - I saw his effort at this year's FRIEZE - typical cliche text painting like Ruscha without the humour.

[tiesthijsthejs]

I have no idea what is particularly 'anthropological' about this interview or this guy...buzzword?

[Bmurphysart]

This guy does have some talent but lets be for real at what point does an artist like this gain success in the art world when there a millions of excellent artist out there.He said himself that he isnt a good painter.He copied a candle explain this to me please?What makes an artist like this gain success?I guess VBSstands for video bull shit..Because that what the art world is...Nothing but BS

[thornbird7556]

He seems entirely unenthusiastic about his work. That's how you can spot a fraud.

[mower2009]

he said "like" 36 times....

wow... i have too much time on my hands....

[AtillaTheSunn]

move on from the basketball and talk about your art, and not just the surface level shit, that's baby-talk. Intelligence comes from concept. If you can't verbalize your own then your really up shit's creek, superficiality only lasts for so long....

[rwm89]

@AtillaTheSunn i agree. nate lowman is exactly the same, they have both been brought to fame through knowing certain people. It's so frustrating as an artist, to have to listen to these peoples bullshit explanation of their art. Have you watched the Interview magazine video with nate lowman on here? he talks about his new smiley face project and his reason behind it is that he likes how people put smiley faces next to their name and the 'psychosis' behind it. Soooo frustrating!

[AtillaTheSunn]

I respect this guy and what he has accomplished, he's an amazing painter....but he really sounds like an arrogant douche here with his whole attitude about art, acting like an ex-jock who is still afraid to admit he likes to paint and be an artist because god-forbid it will tarnish his masculinity. So it doesn't come natural to you, there's no soul in it, just the next best thing after bball....right on dude, it's great to be passionate about your second-favorite thing to do.

[mrkeekee]

he loves coke

[mojandoelperrito]

This guy had some real troubles in his mind. Wasted his life doing that mediocre bullshit knowing that he would never be able to do better, then killing himself for posthomous fame. What this world do to people when they take away from themselves the precious gift of life? Is it worthy the price?

[anewyorkthing]

is that ignorant comment referring to dash snow? this video is of dan colen, a talented painter

[jaredrose2]

where in the heck is part 2 and 3? seriously. its been almost two years.

[cansam2905]

on the vbs website

[antonl3]

I know this guy he is a coke freak

[RadioWar1212]

rad

[rwm89]

but aurel schmidt...shes a fucking artist

[rwm89]

i respect this guy because hes doing what he wants to do, making art and selling it, living off the profits. but personally i think hes completely unoriginal and over rated. you just have to look at that car installation thing he did with nate lowman, theres nothing about it man

[jpnyc08]

complete tool.

[boardingschoolbaby]

hipster b.s.

nothingness cocaine boring

venal vampire frat boy

[Sirveaux]

This guy is a putz. He's half assing everything. He's simply in the right place at the right time.

[cansam2905]

i think he's cool. i like his concept

[Schopenhauerstrasse]

Call a spade a spade - that shit is pure kitsch.

People buy it because they can sell it the following year for a profit.

[teagan113]

far out maannnnn

[whitebate]

dog shit

[dylanzt]

if any of you have better art offer it up? lets take a look art critics. i mean the guy is putting himself out there. you don't have to look at it. for fuck sakes. you can at least give a critique other than its cheesy? im by no means loving everything vice does or even really care what they put out as a publication but you can't write them off as vacuous? its weird how their own readers illicit such statements even on their own site.

[modestomouso1234]

if someone thinks a certain artists work is vacuous then they have every right to say so. who are you to tell people what they can and can't say?

[3otared]

omg :) & ppl buy this shit ????

[TrippNo4]

that's kill yourselves (pl).

[boogiebuddy01]

how can i be an artist too?

[mizzamoe]

whata guy. I think hes pretty cool...

[nksav]

this art is so bad

[rhondaanthonytanner]

really cool vid yo!!--hugz--Brittani aka Rhonda Anthony Tanner/R.A.T. Coaching aka B-RAT :)

[iliketea333]

those candle paintings are cheesy as hell. put them in a motel

[samboon2007]

Leonardo resurrected!

[jahvengeance]

another vacuous offering by vice.

to everyone involved in this publication, do humanity a favour and kill yourself.

[dukeofmystery]
