See Some ‘Stupid, Ridiculous, Crummy’ Art
Not likely to make it onto the Culture Picks, but notable nonetheless: An artist called “BiZZiD” who paints and sculpts images of ’80s performance artist Leigh Bowery and the equally queer C-3PO will have his work set up at 300 Knickerbocker (that’s near Suydam) this weekend for a photoshoot and wants people to come by and I guess ridicule his “stupid, ridiculous, crummy, 3rd rate” stuff.
I really like his myspace page.
Leigh Bowery is an excellent obsession to have. He’s amazing.
Actually looking him up made me think of you. And Genesis!
I think that the negative self labeling is a very clever way to distinguish his own art from others while attracting the curious eye of amatures like me who seek to confirm/disagree with the artist’s self assessment.
“stupid ridiculous crummy art” – a line from the film Basquiat.
