Ivan Vosecký's studio is a laboratory of helplessness. In the tussle with art, he usually comes off worse. Against artists who win against art. You will never see all the pictures he has painted. Each one hides three or four others. This isn't a metaphor. Nor is it a method.
He has them in the studio so long that he repaints them several times. He rarely exhibits and in a small booth, they'd get cluttered up.
From the time he started working, everything falls into place. Ivan Vosecký, as he himself claims, is a labourer of art. He takes care not to demolish the entire construction and tries not to create waste. You're probably now saying to yourself, "That must be really silly art!". And in fact it is silly. Nothing much at first sight.
But even gold can be wrapped up in crap and a fool wouldn't find it. Only a few find gold in crap. There's nothing pleasant about it. It is risky and sometimes it goes wrong. But it is far better than surrounding crap in gold packaging. Silly art indiscriminately reproaches humankind for its silliness. We need silly art more and more. Other art simply prostrates itself before the gravitas of humankind.

My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution
An American poet was invited to the White House in order to read his controversial plagiarized poetry. All tricked out and ready to do it his way, he comes to the “scandalous” realization that nothing bothers anyone anymore, and instead of banging your head against the wall it is better to build you own walls or at least little fences.
Nick Land – An Experiment in Inhumanism Nick Land – An Experiment in Inhumanism
Nick Land was a British philosopher but is no longer, though he is not dead. The almost neurotic fervor with which he scratched at the scars of reality has seduced more than a few promising academics onto the path of art that offends in its originality. The texts that he has left behind are reliably revolting and boring, and impel us to castrate their categorization as “mere” literature.
No Future For Censorship No Future For Censorship
Author dreaming of a future without censorship we have never got rid of. It seems, that people don‘t care while it grows stronger again.
