Go Alex!

[guillermo1ish]

Very exciting work!!!!!!

[TheBrotherOfSisters]

the pics are very banal ,but i guess that that was the point

[saltinthesoup]

stupid and boring formalism 

[nimfenzwanner]

@maeiraldi I was thinking more Erwin Wurm inspired. Imho, Koons' use of the everyday object is much less inventive. Alex looks like he's having fun and his work has a enthusiastic energy. But than again, that's my impression on this video, you seem to be hanging more onto an anekdote. German conceptual art isn't for everyone.

hey, I'm José Da Corte, from venezuela, I explore art in some different way (Maybe more conventional) I have some videos, check it out. u have to be some sort of far cousing, the last name is not common.. I'm not an artist, never have shown my work on a gallery... actually I'm a lawyer..

liked the focus of ur work good luck

Da Corte, a 27 year old gay man describes these situations in his own words: "If I'm asking people to do things they normally wouldn't do, I feel some obligation to get out of my comfort zone. These people have very real lives. All these people that I see in the park; they know that I'm gay. I seek out men who I assume are straight hoping to engage them in a relationship that brings about feelings of fear, anxiety, rejection, embarrassment, excitement, lust, etc."

lol

Hmmmmmm, and I came all the way from Dallas to see the pipe organ at Macy's. Little did I know what the neighborhoods look like or who lives there. I spent all my time downtown, well maybe next time.

I think that heterosexual requirement is just so the strangers dont think they are being solicited for sex. I hope that doesnt have anything to do with the art itself or the artists biases.

[santent68]

what size dildos do yall use? watch out for Mandingo!!!

[apocalypsynch]

@Alex

How do you know if a stranger is heterosexual?

[mattheoroseo]

art is so fucking stupid

[gumbijusti]

Your fucking stupid if you really think art is stupid.

[mattheoroseo]

actually I am kinda stupid and I still think art is stoopit

[neillrobert]

thats possibly the most ignorant thing i've ever heard...

[seanmantel]

his neighborhood looked like it was from popeye the live action movie, a little shanty seaside town....I've always been fascinated with places that look like that...

[iynque]

So what happens when you approach someone, tell them they fit a certain type, tell them that they are heterosexual, and then they say that they aren't?

Oh well, no photos?

Oh well, it doesn't matter?

I just found that comment to be sooo bizarre...

[NovakMary]

: )

[Naraku111]

so throwing random shit in random spots is art? wow my bedroom is an art peice

[Crickettedog]

@Naraku111: There are many different kinds of art. You are not expected to appreciate his kind of art, so their is no need to ridicule. It is easy to ridicule what you don't understand. Try associating with a college graduate. You'd be surprised what you would learn. Of course, if you don't like learning, you have the right to wallow around in your ignorance the rest of your life. Yes? No?

[Naraku111]

you are angry that i dislike his art?

you do realise people have diffrent opinions about diffrent things

and you are very smart

if i disliked learning i wouldnt be watching a video about art now would i?yes? no?

[MelissaGeorge47]

[jasonverlaine]

[8Xzim8X]
