This is what assholes look like.
While I was in New York, I attended an art show in some lofts in Bushwick. I was not planning attending it but it was taking place in the building I was staying. Upon entering the show, I was overwhelmed by the terrible art and the terrible people that were there. The greed, the lack of talent, and the overall almost "jockish" attitude these people had made me ill. They made me never want to describe myself as artist. Words cannot express the disappointment I found in that room. Needless to say, I drank myself into a scene and I know that wasn't the right thing to do. But it sickened me to see these people call themselves artists and watch buyers eat up their shit. I still feel harsh saying this but from the people I had spoken to (only two of them being artists) this was the impression that I had received. New York, that night you’re art scene was a failure. Then again, what grounds do I have to stand on? I would sell out in a second to get out poverty that I find myself in.
