I love how, more than a century after some French alcoholic put a toilet in an art gallery, artists have been continually asking the question “what is art, really?” only to discover the answer is that high art is a way for bored rich people to simulate meaning in their lives by turning the entire exercise into a contest of personal popularity and ego.
They emptied their own golem of meaning and that’s why empty canvases are now considered art.

I'm tired of it, but we keep seeing variations of the toilet because it keeps working.
Wealthy New York aristocrats using their access to money to insist they’re the edgy cool provocative rebels questioning power does annoy me, it’s true.
