Thanks to Dana Hunter of En Tequila Es Verdad for dreaming up, soliciting entries for, hosting, and preparing the first Carnival of the Elitist Bastards, wherein our little site is, again, featured! Among my favorites – other than my own entry, hmm hmm – is an attack on anti-elitism itself, a veritable plague on our democracy, and a perversion of the myth of the humble beginnings. I look forward to future carnivals, and I promise I’ll have a badge for it soon, too.
In other news, I’m just now feeling better, and I hope to be posting more regularly again soon. I had the chance to visit the Met today – although the mere act of walking there made me dizzy (sad, huh?) – and I snapped a shot of this “wall text,” describing a piece made by one of the art world’s bad boys, Damien Hirst.
I’ll let you all decide whether you want to see the actual piece: click here if you’re up to it. But I warn you, the piece is exactly what the text describes. A discussion on art and elitism tomorrow. I’m already gunning for inclusion in Carnival #2!
I don’t even have to see your entry. You’re so included!
Thanks for sailing out with us! Can’t wait till next time!
