Contemporary art: fraud, deception, joke

Is Art the so-called "Contemporary Art"?

 "Art is when the artist so decides". Marcel Duchamp

A genuine work of art has the qualities: i) It is a strictly thought work, ii) It is a product that results from thought, iii) Since it arises from thought, they have intellectual value, iv) It is an original work; v) It is unique and unrepeatable; vi) It has perfection in its execution, vii) It is associated with a creative activity, of one or several creators, it is a product created in an activity that requires inventiveness, as well as innovation and originality.

At present, the current called "contemporary art" shows an empty aesthetic surrounded by good intentions, which, because it is empty and false, always needs to be in a museum or gallery in order to exist before the eyes of the public as "art".

The works of "contemporary art" do not have extraordinary characteristics by themselves, they were created as a rejection of the academies to show direction and "own" style; although they would have no presence or existence outside the traditional museum precincts, and because outside of them, they would go completely unnoticed and ignored because of their ephemeral, vulgar, inconsequential and daily nature. Because they are covered by the classical aura of museums and galleries they acquire the status of "masterpieces" and are presented as "art", only because a supposed and fraudulent authority in the field assigns them that category and creates an accepted dogma with submission and without questioning by the snobs, who have a lot of money, but are unable to think for themselves.

The "contemporary art" is now a closed ideology, banal, deceptive, manipulative and debasing the aesthetic sense, which annuls, sanctions and punishes the possibility of verification or criticism; it is evident the lack of rigor and the minimum effort in the creations, it shows the little or null intelligence of the current. Since they do not support rational criticism, "contemporary art" or "snobbish art" finds its strength and justification in various dogmas arisen from arbitrary assertions, which are obeyed by snobs or submissive imitators, unable to use the intellect to question and reject works fraudulent A dogma in theology is a divine truth imposed to be believed by the faithful; The dogmas of "contemporary art" are imposed by curators, in complicity with false artists and ideologists of dangerous utopias bent on destroying the world.

Duchamp was a pioneer in this perversion of art. The dogma of the transubstantiation, affirms that "an object changes of substance by magical influence". It is enough for a curator to say it, if it is placed in a museum or gallery and a garbage bag, masses of construction materials or excrement, they become "works of art". The contemporary snobs will accept without hesitation, the explanation of the curator-high priest of a perverse ideology.

The "meaning" is completely arbitrary, because the object itself is, the works have no aesthetic value that justifies it as art, and the audacious visitor who expresses that what he observes does not communicate anything or does not show any meaning, is immediately qualified as ignorant, because the curator, the artist and the critic (the ineffable trio) are those who possess a "special sensitivity" and the "necessary culture" to understand it. In this way, a value is given to something that lacks it, "the conscience of reality submits to superstition, definitively burying reason." Is not it the same as the Marxist ideology of the LBGT XXX, determined to destroy morals, ethics, good customs and human values?

This "work of art" is shown at the Venice Biennale. If this pile of stones is art, then the owner of the house under construction is irrational because it destroys the "works of art" that are outside the house. Even the rubble becomes "works of art." Terrible and scurrilous reality.

This is common material in a construction, but for snobs it has more transcendence than the philosophical problem of immortality.

The following images show works that reveal the sense of absurd and scurrilous humor of the "artists". Practically they say to the intelligent spectator: "If you do not understand, you are uneducated, barbarian, you are blind".

The mockery is not done only with stones; any material is worth In this image, paper is the dominant material, and is an example of insanity and poor artistic creative intelligence.
