This art style looks like it's telling you to be happy with a gun to your face.

If only you could see how much that damn banana is worth today 🥴

25:17 cute dog :D

This looks fantastic, i love how you rendered the hair!!

I found you first on tumblr, you have a very entertaining video style!

So Pantone provides useful services for industries. That's why they all use it.

raw is indeed a scam, My husband turned them down in Houston 2012. Saw the terms and said not a chance. Beware everyone is out to make money from unknown artist.

OMG the algorithm finally shared your channel with me. We are hella aligned on this. Excellent takes, great vid, excited to watch more of your takes.

is it?

I am so happy I got an Engineering degree.

Oh no. Look at this street art I accidentally did. It is most certainly deserving of punishment. lmao

Thank you so very much for all this information. I only wish we would have found it 2 days ago... my very talented youngest child was approached exactly this way, being asked to participate in the Montreal event. Fortunately, it was brought to their attention by friends and other artists that this event was not a good idea before any money was moved. But not before a couple tickets were bought. It all looked so fantastic on the surface, but after watching this and doing a bit more digging, it definitely isn't the best place to showcase a ceramic sculpture artist. Thank you again!

Cat , brilliant video. I keep coming back to this every few months . Please can you update us on this subject 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Pack up off of the mic dawg this ain't asmr

Idk at what point that being condescending to the viewer became adopted by gay Internet comedians... But its fairly insufferable. I also detest the running theme of young critics simply glancing at etymology and saying "Now we have an understanding of what vandalism truely is." Thats a really underhanded method of attaching intention to an action without taking the specific action into context. The only type of vandalism you outlined that has any justification, is the vandalism of public monuments. Because the public has the power to decide what they are subjected to seeing every day. Those statues impose over the people, and are an eyesore to those who are harmed by their message. I DO think there should be a historical effort to save the statues, as they are modern relics of human history, and will one day be ancient history to people looking back. Just like how we look back on relics of civilizations rife with suffering and immoral practices to contextualize the times we live in today. Art IS free. Just because you have found art in a private collection that you have to pay to see doesnt mean "art isnt free". There are plenty of public art museums freely viewable. There is plenty of art in cities, in local shows, on the walls around you everywhere. Art is free. Keeping the power on in a gallery, staffing it, and paying professionals to keep up and restore the pieces is NOT free. Galleries preserve art. This is something a lot of people totally neglect to acknowledge bc i suppose people think that we would somehow still have all these works otherwise. It is SELFISH to insist you are obligated to view anything you want for no charge. It is SELFISH to insist that the vandalism of private art is justified because you dont like paying to see art, or something unrelated happening in the world. This video is filled with connect the dots BS, all as an attempt to justify a single controversial idea (vandalism). Its so unfortunate how severely this generation of people take for granted... Pretty much everything they have. Edit: Deflecting your personal shortcomings in this situation with "Well thats hypocritical because the art galleries have stollen relics and thats selfish" is a thought process id expect based on this videos themes. Yes, art was stolen. Not from you, however. So unless you have any connection to the stolen relics, dont even begin to try preach about the vandalism of private connections. Ive seen plenty of non destructive protests (some successful) demonstrations by INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. Dont expect me to think you care about a cause if you only cared enough to use glue or soup to prove a point. Thats NOT THOUGHTFUL.

yeahhh they reached out to me and I was on board until I heard that it'd cost $550 for me (as a full time artist?!)... they told me I had to bring my own lighting and table, which was the last straw. Absolutely not. Thanks for putting this out there. edit: just an update, from the RAW rep I spoke to today, artists are paid $10 for each additional ticket (beyond the 20). That's wild to me because the math isn't mathing

<3 slay

here's a comment

i WISH that someone felt strongly enough about my art to vandalize it

R u a guy ? Just a question

I love this channel so much, still can't believe how underrated your content is. I love listening to these while I work and chewing over what you talk about. The humor and info is wonderful as always!

that bit about being able to afford to get into the museum hot on the heels of me visiting an art museum for the equiv of 50 cents USD reminded me violently again that other places sure do love to gatekeep art. this is my comment for the algorithm gods

Legit forgot Kid Pix was a thing.

Amazing video, I saw this style when I was younger and was fascinated because I saw it everywhere, corps love it and I thought it was the right way to do, I've changed my mind nowadays not because of the video but the lack of creativity in these kind of trends.

Thank you for the video! Would love to hear you talk more about how the context changes how we interpret art, like Ways Of Seeing by John Berger

I remember SO many of my friends and friends of friends getting very ripped off by AI, specifically the North Hollywood branch in California.

Haha let me tell you, this economy is getting a real kick in the hiney! Lm and nmoK! Y'all there's somebody broke down people out here and some f***** up s*** going on. Teachers have it so good! Do you know how hard it is to get a job? Fu roadblock.... 🗞️🪪🥁👾🌐

Well said abd very well put together. St. Louis City Art Museum is free and not sure now but, the paid exhibits were free on Frdays where I saw Van Gogh's and my favorite was there. Starry Night. Thanks for this one Cat.

I always learn something from your vids, Cat, and this time the learnin' was big. Thankyou.

Re: confederate statues They only think we need statues to remember history because they plan on burning all the books.

That is genuinely one of the best thumbnails I've ever seen...it feels like it's from a different earth where mrbeastification isn't destroying art and commerce, resulting in all static images becoming Bliss faster than all fauna is becoming crab. 🦀 **pinch** 🫶

people trying to gatekeep art generally have zero background in international art, anthropology, or secular history

I'm too drunk to watch this right now, but I just wanted to say that thumbnail is sexy as hell.

I think Weiwei should go see Shen Yun and pipe down already. The US is far more worthy of critique than China.

another great video. i really like your angle on this. and the tom nicholas hint was very nice, thanks.

I have a mate that does fake banksy pieces for fun. The council will spray over their graffiti and any near it but not the fake banksy. Even when it's obvious it's not him.

э 30:26 when you are ready to heal you will stop saying things like that

i think my comment got deleted because youtube percieved it as a threat 😔. great video!

Whataboutism is cute

“More uncommon” = less common. Nazis slashed and destroyed artworks. What are you talking about?😊

Get to the fucking point

It's incredible, you mentiones plenty of examples that I also had in mind conecrning this topic! I read about the slashing of Velazco's Venus in Gell's "Art and Agency", and even mentioned the similarity of this case with contemporary environmental protests during my exam about Anthropology of Art! A friend of mine, a fellow anthropology student, has written a short paper (not published, just a small dissertation as homework) about the vandalisation of statues of slave owners in the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. About Ai Weiwei, I did not remeber his name but I remember reading an article about an artist dipping ancient ceramics into paint and another artist smashing them as an art performance of protest. I remember that this made me wonder about the poower of art, and how crimes might be recontextualised as art and accepted in some cases. And in some other Anthropology seminars we talked about street art as a way for social minorities to reappropriate the public space and a tool for them to participate to public life even when they are excluded from it. However, I had never linked all these examples under the same topic, but rather reflected on each one individually in different occasions and focusing on different specificities. So, I think that your video essay is super interesting, thank you for sharing your perspective on the vandalism of art.

Damn, that was a great video

art is important because it has cultural meaning and conveys a message. if the message it sends is harmful, or it props up people doing harmful things, destroying it can be good actually. and saying things should be handled while respecting private property is just placing legality over morality

PMA has no rights anyway they fired all their union staff

Yay my favorite artist on here

Halfway through and really happy to hear your take on it. Happy for another video too!

If we’re gonna be honest, the Just Stop Oil kids haven’t generally damaged any paintings. They threw soup on the bullet-proof glass and then glued themselves to the wallpaper. The real enemy is the wallpaper. You know, like Joanne’s moldy wallpaper? That wallpaper is a crime.
