Rikki sixx is an american porn star

[Rikki Sixx]

No. That would be Rikki Six. Currently the biggest thorn in my side. Actually not her. Her fans who won't stop bugging me about her.

Evoking "a response" from one's surroundings isn't a special skill.

A drunk wanking on the street can make the girl who has to pass him on her way home feel revulsion, annoyance, outrage. That doesn't make the drunken wanking art.

Projecting his own cruel lack of imagination concerning the lives he needlessly destroys&mocks (for a f'n SHOW) onto society/humanity/insertcrapher­e doesn't make Hirst "high concept." He's just an ass in a gallery. And all those creatures are dead now. Real Dead.

The art critic takes the words out of my mouth with the 'how many spot paintings do you need' comment.

[doctorrussellfell]

so according to your logic, unless you're an artist that has been legitimized by the art world (which is predominately white and class driven), then you have no say in what dictates art?

[Wenceslao Futanaki]

this man is a thief and belongs to a culture forget by thieves.

his art is for people who enjoy simple and base conceptualism thrown in their faces because the idea of discovering or feeling anything for longer than two seconds is dead to them. everyone has a right to talk about art. his art is cold, simple, egotistical and driven by hedge fund comission and being friends with Bono.

In a shit culture like ours shit like Hirst floats to the top

[sovietamerican2]

this isnt art, by your logic anything can be art,which means these people should not be making any real money.These guys are business men,as Robert Hughes would say,a great work of art speaks for itself,not some pretentious asshole telling you what it means.

[MCR262]

I'm shocked by the amount of people bitching about Damien and his work. Unless you yourself are a Picasso or a Warhol, then you have absolutely no right to get on your high horse and dictate what is art. The art I just saw shocked the hell out of me. Personally, I get more of an impact from physical three dimensional art than I do from paintings, and I find him more emotional and though provoking than most artist. His art is for those who think freely, not those who are taught how to think.

[WeeOohAlba]

call me stupid but this is crap.

[rosathedesierto]

Este cabrón hace arte para sádicos igual que el. De arte, no tiene ni idea, utiliza y se apodera de los animales, como si fueran objetos, para llamar la atención. Maldito sea el degenerado psicópata!!!!

[Doristheinfuriating]

Art is undefinable, whether you like it or not. I can't stand Jackson Pollack, I think his works are shit, but someone else may adore them, and I don't begrudge them that.
