________________________________________________________________________________ THE MUSEUM OF IDIOT-NET-ARTIST SHILLS The work of over 125 pandering online artist-victims will be presented as part of: EAT-ME: An International Conference of Blabbering Incestuous Artworld Acolytes at the Walker Art Center (April 6-8, 2000) <-- http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/blabbering-cronies.html --> Cultural identity, in the deepest sense, is all about open, intrinsic value. The institutionalized culture is never a means but always an end. Cultural resources, rituals, and activities are valued in and of themselves. They are not things that can be reduced to quantifiable standards. Culture, then, exists in sharp contrast to the institutional sphere, in which all phenomena is reduced to utility, and expropriation and expediency become the accepted artworld norms. /:b ________________________________________________________________________________ no copyright 2000 rolux.org - no commercial use without permission. is a moderated mailing list for the advancement of minor criticism. more information: mail to: majordomo@rolux.org, subject line: , message body: info. further questions: mail to: rolux-owner@rolux.org. archive: http://www.rolux.org
