I love these films but these two guys literally said nothing that made any sense.

[@literallyanythingelse]

I'm just clicking around randomly but I've heard multiple things that basically make sense. around the 20 minute mark barney is talking about the performers and technicians being the true audience of the work, which is what limits how compelling it can be. provocative, but also thoroughly sensible to my mind. but then, sense is relative i guess...

not all art is for five year olds

[@Ibrahim-metahari1968]

...............but most of it is! I think Barney, Abramovic and Emin are provacteurs/shock-jocks if not just frauds. Not because how theirr art appears but when you cant speak about your work in intelligible, coherent sentences, you're most likely a fraud.

[@spikebo3081]

Seems like he’s unable to explain his work to anyone

[@chiquitafeldberg8512]

Guy's Einstein said if you cant explain your work or idea to a 5 year old then you dont understand your work :)

[@johnappleseed8369]

ok, so you know when you get that feeling in your pants when a girl arouses you? well this explores in depth but abstractly all the human anxieties of said sexuality

[@hoptoad]

actually six year old but yeah

[@marcollano5917]

Sounds about right
