    I don’t read philosophers – they’re nonsense-peddlers: secular priesthood. I read scientists. The principal purpose of reading philosophy is that once you’ve mastered the basics of the the major logics and sciences, you may want to know ‘how to do it wrong’ -so you can avoid it. Because that’s what philosophy means: how to do it wrong.

    REVIEW: A WASTE OF PHOTO PAPER

    “At the Border of Truth: Photographing the New East “

    Sasha Rudensky, Assistant Professor of Art

    Tuesday, September 26, 2017, 5:00 pm

    Ring Family Performing Arts Hall, Center for the Arts

    Wesleyan University

    Aside from three or four shots that showed insight into stereotypical russian working class archetypes – which I found insulting as I assume they would – the work is worse than student quality – so much so that the viewer is left not pondering the image, but pondering why one would select such images other than for their lack of composition, content, and insight.

    Seriously. I know the art world has been a relative wasteland since the dawn of the digital age, and americans lack the culture and acculturation necessary to produce high arts. And I know the ‘new inspirationless and aspiration-less primitivism’ is meant to appeal to the rising anti-western underclasses now aspiring to upper middle class decor.

    So, why don’t we just rename Art in America,

    (New) American Painter, Art News, … the whole lot of them to “Proletarian Decoration in Western Civilization”?

    I have literally not seen a gallery show in over a decade that didn’t insult my intelligence and my aesthetics.

    God. What A Wasteland Aesthetics Has Become.
