Modern art was CIA ‘weapon’

Revealed: how the spy agency used unwitting artists such as Pollock and de Kooning in a cultural Cold War!

Oh, come on now: is anyone really surprised? Read the rest here.

Wait, does this mean that CSIS may have provided money for the iTunes Visualizer exhibit currently at the Mendel, with our very own karaoke modernist ? (What I like to call the Optimism of Nepotism? And perhaps some of those articles “written” about the show – really, they’re just hand jobs –  should be not that he continues to “influence”, so much as provides an opportunity to line your pockets at the taxpayers’ expense – I mean, at least the CIA and American taxpayer subsidized QUALITY artists.)

Oh, probably not: everybody in the article in the Independent was actually a good, quality artist : but since we have U.S.A. envy, maybe that would have given the karaoke modernists here an edge (“I can make it look just like Newman, but at half the price!”).

Sigh. When will this karaoke be done, at the gallery, and we’ll return to showing quality local artists, or quality national ones, instead of engineered myths of mediocre artists whom are unknown – deservedly – once you go 50 miles in any direction….thank god for Under Skirt.
