[@dissidentfairy4264]

What an interesting and eclectic art show! 🧚‍♀

[@blipblip88]

Fun and interesting! Thanks.

[@dg4720]

Nice editing and music, giving me PBS vibes. Thanks for the upload!

[@tiffinyrae7614]

Out of the hundreds of channels I’m subscribed to, your channel by far is one of my favorite top 3! Love this channel 😊

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Wow. Thank you! We are humbled by such praise.

[@gustavomezcala4142]

Da Da Da!

[@artbyty]

Love your commentary and perspective. More grounded than the rest.

[@alanhoward8684]

Some really cool and interesting items there. Thanks for showing us around👍

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Thank you for watching!

[@vincecallagher7636]

It’s hilarious listening to their explanations. Fantastic show.

[@maisycakes1125]

I found this a wonderful video and the show looked amazing.....I wish it would come to the UK . Thankyou for this video.

[@elmerkilred159]

This is a giant throwback to the days of curiosity cabinets. The art part is the arrangement of the installation. To call all the garbage collected, "art" is an inaccuracy. This isn't an art show, but an installation.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Yeah we thrive on that fuzzy line between art and something else.

[@Wolfgang-p1i]

Whouwwww…..so großartig❗️Man muß ein spezielles Auge für diese Dinge haben👆Ich liebe dieses Video und stoppe es immer, um mir diese wunderschönen Dinge genau anzusehen, man braucht eine besondere Phantasie, um einfache Dinge grandios erscheinen zu lassen❗️Chapeau ❤️‍🔥

[@paulklee5790]

It’s a fascinating area isn’t it… so many philosophical questions to unpick. If this kind of think piques your fancy and you haven’t heard of him yet look up ‘The Philadelphia Wireman’ …

[@claremaidofthewave251]

Watching from the UK, this episode made my heart sing, loved it.💃🏻👌🏻

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Thank you and hi to the UK!

[@sookendestroy1]

This is essentially the macabre, folksy aesthetics of walking around abandoned areas near Chernobyl, or an old industrial area or mining town and the weird things left by locals, tourists and homeless people which pipe up to form an abandoned aesthetic of sorts

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

I love the stuffed animals. ❤

[@mS-iz9np]

I love it so much, I don't know if there is like this exhibition in San Jose CA Thank you so much.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Thank you right back!

[@armandogavilan1815]

Just an antiques show, what you can find on a pawn or antique shop.

[@winterlighthome]

Marcel Duchamp would be proud.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Really it all began with Marcel Duchamp.

[@toscaozine]

É bem o meu estilo. Amei!😻

[@susanjane4784]

First time on this channel. Look forward to viewing more. Scribbling notes. He said these “objects have lives of their own in our imaginations.” So are they virtually alive? Some artifacts of childhood carried over to adulthood? A weird time travel version of conceptual art? Interesting.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

The curator explained that found art, (eg a rock that looks like a skull) predates man made art.

[@zlatkozarin5106]

Bravo ...

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Thank you!

[@Lophophorawilliamsii]

A request for a future video, if you'd be so kind: visit a Matthew Wong exhibition. Thank you so much.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Interesting stuff, I'll keep an eye out for an NYC exhibition.

[@dukewillum]

Love the channel. I wish the episodes were just a bit longer...

[@jeffolsen4983]

I have that same container of Dr Edward's Olive Tablets; same design and colors, with swastika, however mine is smaller, cost 15 cents whereas the one in your vid cost 30 cents. These are the only 2 I have seen.

[@michaelcovelli9461]

Man that universe thing was quite a plot twist..

[@margietalk]

children understand....."that objects have lives of their own in our imaginations." in my baby days, found and "funky" meant something and was valued. there were stories to be told, of origin and acquisition, all told around a circle of like-minded souls, trading memories of funky doodle coolness.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Right on!

[@ThatFailedartist]

nioce

[@NWLee]

I just found this weird, the right kind of weird. Thanks

[@NYisconstipated]

Difficult question because everything created is art…

[@TheDeathOfArt]

That's what we are exploring.

[@Heronjim]

In the good old days this was called a junk shop. You can inflate the prices if you call it art.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

🤑

[@coys787]

Sad you don’t see the ingenuity, the fun, the creativity, the beauty, the brain power, the hard work, etc. etc. in this art.

[@Riddlemewalker]

I feel like I'm getting early on this channel and looking forward to more. Show reminds me a bit of something I saw by Larry Miller of the Fluxus group back in the 1980s. Collections of jailhouse knives etc. "...And so to me all of this is retraining people to trust something that kids know intuitively: that objects have lives of their own in our imaginations..." Interesting stuff!

[@TheDeathOfArt]

We are so grateful to have lately found an audience of intelligent people. We only hope to grow it. Thanks for being a part and contributing.

[@jumpingship3001]

Wabi Sabi here.

[@cameronscottcairney8852]

Kind of bugs me that they’re all antiques. I’d like to see some contemporary objects used as such

[@TheDeathOfArt]

That's a really good point. The curator really seams to lean towards older things.

[@chuckcheese4232]

Duchamp

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Yep. It all started with that ridiculous upside down urinal.

[@Lazarus1095]

I just assumed looking at the video's title that this was about AI "art".

[@TheDeathOfArt]

We have an AI show in the works.

[@patstats1]

"This show has it all. We have zip guns, we have swastikas, we have American flags…This show could be anywhere in America." Such an interesting statement. I find it curious that out of all the things on exhibit that this quip was the summation of this show.

[@mdude625]

The swastika was an Indo-European symbol; you can find it inscribed on centuries old rune stones in Northern Europe and to this day on temples, shrines and altars of the Buddhists or Hindus (like any other ancient Indo-European symbol the ADL would slander as a “hate symbol”). It’s good those examples exist to make people think beyond their narrow historical reference points of the Civil War, WW2 and the Civil Rights Era…that yes, things occurred before all that.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

The history of this one symbol can take a lifetime to understand and decode. The more I learn the less I know.

[@cldeez-h3v]

what is the name of the first music ?

[@TheDeathOfArt]

IDK there is a reverse app that can tell you in a few seconds. It is canned music that my editor uses which wont get us flagged by KZbin.

[@spence086]

Great ep what’s death of art tho

[@FatRecluseTV]

burnt basketball 😂

[@hairyballbastic8943]

probably not burns, would look a lot different

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Not sure how that happened, the guy wasn't sure either.

[@FatRecluseTV]

@@TheDeathOfArt looks burnt up to me

[@lobstermash]

Years ago there was a fire where I lived. It was slow burning, not much air supply, but very hot. Some objects got slowly baked black without disintegrating. I think this is what happened to the ball.

[@jayumble8390]

First of all...beautiful vibe here! Secondly, if one were to take any object in this video and reduce it to a 2D object...add color...you have what is considered art! Period. So are these 3D objects art? Well yes and no. It's all about presentation. Any of the objects in this video can be considered art if the object is in a frame or an object is mounted on a wall...both of which, the art object has been given a purpose. Take any of the objects presented in this video and set them in someone's living room...no, it's just an object of interest. I hope I'm making sense here!!!!!!! I love this video!

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Objects that have purpose. That is a huge conversation when it comes to understanding art,

[@wallykimball8829]

I guess you've never heard of Duchamp.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Yes, I reference him often.

[@jonathanryals9934]

Is it art? A square can be art, but does that mean any square that ever was is also art by association? All of these items us technically art as they are "artificially" being displayed. But many if not most are more like elements of potential "real" art pieces. As they are, they can be elementary art.

[@IronFreee]

There's nothing new there, the Dadaists already did similar things a century ago to mock and question art.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

But the Dadaists would have loved this show.

[@IronFreee]

@@TheDeathOfArt Maybe, but if you pretend doing "Art", your approach should bring something new to what has already been done. I would enjoy watching those items, just don't call it art :D

Skull shaped rock nature Symbolism sans context Art without intent #haiku #wgasolidarity #creativeequity

[@daveburrows9876]

I've been involved in the visual arts all my life. I still don't know how to define art, much less what makes one sort of work more or less art than another. Seems kind of aristocratic (if not a bit defensive) to try.

[@TheDeathOfArt]

When big money is involved you are right. But art originates on the streets, innovation begins at what the aristocrats describe as the lower half of society.

[@daveburrows9876]

@@TheDeathOfArt Oh, you mean like Michelangelo and the Medici brothers? That kind of street motivated art?

[@TheGoodContent37]

Fake found object art would be going full circle.

[@cudacade]

too much face, not enough art

[@eyesoflizzie7835]

Is the meaning of the word ART exploited? Maybe called them what they are, found objects or antique, which sound more accurate. There are always people spend money on odd stuff. That doesn’t mean they buy art. Taped banana never can be art, it’s the opposite of art, it’s a denouncement of art. There are some critics and historians enjoy talking about it to make their living.

[@Foxglove963]

It has intent but hardly any CONTENT.

[@nni9310]

?

[@steverosse]

Hey, should you be touching all that "art?"

[@TheDeathOfArt]

Actually the exhibitors encouraged touching. Found objects are art before art existed so I guess the rules are different.

[@steverosse]

@@TheDeathOfArt Excellent. I think more art should be tactile. I like to imagine how many people have touched the doo-dads we see in antique stores and junk shops.

[@SuperPlastered]

I do feel as “art” is lost. I grew up admiring the Greats. Now it seems the “greats” want to show us arrangements of batteries and draw vaginas. Let’s move on and just not support these versions of “great”.

[@liutasuk]

😂 kukuland

[@samgamgee7384]

I don't get. Just about all these things were designed "in an artistic manner" and therefore with intent. So all I see is some randomly juxtaposed junk. Also their explanations and definitiions were just vague nonsense. Hard pass!

[@Nottherebutthere]

Why bother to learn anything when this art is what is culturally valued?

[@Fryguystudios]

Because art isn't a zero sum game. I can enjoy art with or without intent. They all have their own value and context. In fact, I enjoy practicing traditional art while also being fascinated with found objects.

[@charquican10000]

eso no es arte

[@NYisconstipated]

“It’s difficult to look at it” who looks at a swastika and gets “Jarred” fix your brain

[@BobPagani]

A Holocaust survivor perhaps?

[@NYisconstipated]

@@BobPagani that should be it. no one else

[@BobPagani]

@@NYisconstipated Yes, the swastika preceded the Nazis but some current-day Nazis use it. It's understandable that people would have a revulsion to it.

[@NYisconstipated]

@@BobPagani Dont think ive ever seen any current day Nazis.
