case number 19

the proliferation of dali moustaches on artists

and on art groupies

=

moustache fail !

compared to this

or this

case number 18

artists doing portraits of juana change

nothing changed, nothing will ever change at all.

case number 18

irony of ironies who can not see the irony

- http://philvisualarts.blogspot.com/2008/05/will-last-pinoy-art-critic-please-turn.html

also proclaiming something as dying to something which is dead already.

or are we dealing with zombies ?

and what's this -

"Maybe to the lifestyle editors of mainstream publications, the role of an “art critic” is something assigned to him, and lumped with the “music critic” or “theater critic” due to limited space or budget constraints. It’s a pity. Our young and new visual artists deserve far better treatment than that."

so the designation is just assigned then, eh?

case number 17

artists endorsing politicians
worse yet, impressarios impressing such suppositions on artists such as -

oh well, i guess the arts can eke out something out of this somehow....
that is...
if they got elected anyway.
but i think it's just fair to be endorsing one's brother, ya think?

but i'd rather be endorsing this -

or would you rather be endorsed by this -

case number 16

cutting edge is being replaced by slicing edge - the times are now becoming more refined for art, yeba!

case number 15

thin curator, fat collector, nuff said.

case number 14

1)too much of nothing selling for a lot of money
2) mishandled elements, still selling for a lot of money
3) i really dont get this
4) just why why why ? and dont f+%$ reply why the hell not?

case number 13

couples for art and packaged deal shows - two for the price of one

case number 12

stating the obvious as a tramp stamp -

case number 11

a beauty queen and a basketball player at exhibit opening, why the hell not?!
they're just too tall for the artists to pose with.

case number 10

commando camel toe in a blouse with fringe bag - this might be cool, you know, especially the camel toe but you'd rather see those on a girl, i know you do.

case number 9

i guess we've heard so much already of artists multi-tasking, being actors and pole dancers and recording artists (like the girl on this poster) as well to show their multi-faceted talent, and of course, their diverse marketability.

i'm guessing the designer who made this also owns a furniture shop, he just couldn't help inserting in the background their latest merchandise - a sofa bed in plush charcoal grey which the other two band members brought in for this photoshoot, their limbs still limp, and shoulders sore from carrying that sofa that just has to be in the picture.

case number 8

nothing wrong with the picture here. of course, a lot of art collectors are doctors, seen here posing with his recent acquisition and the artist who made the painting.

but after a lot of hard bargain and drinks, he comes out as Dr. Vicodin -

case number 7

"jazzing up" almost everything to make art "more accessible" like these "jazzed up" umbrellas.

hmmm....but this can be great as corporate give-aways.

case number 6

senior artists being so "brain-drained" already and still joining art contests

case number 5

the only entertainment that validates the high mindedness of a typical art show :
violinists suddenly emerging from black manila paper curtains

case number 4

this probably tops it all :

posing with your artwork with tim yap

case number 3

which one is worse : nurses at an art opening or

the artist dressed like a nurse at her opening ?

case number 2

ballroom dancing in an exhibit opening

case number 1

artists dressing up to match their paintings and posing beside them
