• Frenzied, terrified, horny, lurid: in lockdown I crave art that’s as unhinged as I feel

  20-10-2020 23:00
  
  For Nick Buckley, the pandemic has been defined by vivid outbursts of fear, anger and lust. He wants chaotic art that reflects this Right now, living through lockdown, existence is reductive.

  “We wanted to create the idea that we are everywhere, and we are listening. We could be working at the MoMA or even at Leo Castelli’s gallery. We wanted to create this idea that the art world was being watched, surveilled and scrutinized. Anonymity has protected us, but now I’m not sure anyone cares any more who we are. It has changed.” – The Guardian

  No, Atlas Shrugged doesn’t count as literature, and neither do Ann Coulter and Dinesh D’Souza. “To define Right-wing literature is to ask what literature is and what it’s for, but the most ready-to-hand answers (beauty, truth, empathy, expression) are incongruous to conservatism’s means, if not to the perverse utopianism of its final objectives.” – Aeon
