When does an art piece become valuable?
Or value-able?
Society at some point decided that if Damien Hirst were to
sneeze onto a sock, this 'Amazing Conceptual Art Work' is worth more
monetarily than my entire educational spending.
Is Greatness in the sum of its parts? In a painting does
the expense of each portion of paint get added up, plus minimum wage for each
hour that is spent of the piece, with petrol an addition for the travel to get
the materials and to take the painting to where it is viewed.
Plus VAT.
And if this is not the cause of pricing, is it the name of
the artist creating a profit? A particular configuration of letters creating a
sensation of value within a piece of ‘art’ or a perception of a specific set of
sounds meaning money when attached to a created art object.
A fluid hierarchy of ideas has been (man-)made. A
particular statement or motif becomes ‘en
vogue’. With this popularity,
does it create value? Is the mass enjoyment of a creation equate to a monetary
rise and gain? Is each singular dislike include a percentage of value lost or
removed?
0.03% revenue lost due to
Ralph from the UK “not liking
that shade of blue”
Does a reproduction increase or decrease the value of a
work? The suggestion that it is popular enough to be desired as a two or more
is a gain, but the copy of a work sheds an originality that was perceived as
desired, a loss. A triangulation of repetition and markdowns with an increase
meaning a weakening.
A Pyramid Scheme.
Sentimentality creates a price range all of its own. Great
Aunt Marie’s prized plates may be worth a few quid to the ‘Average Antiques Dealer’, but to your mother they could be the
greatest value in her life. More than you and your brother. It could be a
Daulton or a Worcester, or ‘that
Bobby down the road who paints plates for a living, remember him?’. But what makes his work any different
from the ‘Greats’?
What makes it valuable?

Rusted
Inside of you is rusting.
Flaking away.
Falling apart.
Each day you rot, decompose,
disintergrate into the unknown.
A neuron fires and goes cold. A cell
divides and dies.
Here and gone. Everything is
temporary.
The Glory Of The Toaster Strudel
We are obsessed with holes. The desire to insert a bodily object into one, or many. The fear of alien objects coming out.
The hole as an object.
Abjection of holes is necessary for society. Cockroaches, ants, rats scuttering through gaps in walls makes your skin crawl as if you are your home and they are weaving under the surface of your being. Capitalism tells you to buy a new house. Move on up. Spend. Fill the holes of your home, both the house you are in and your body, with things. Objects. Stuff the emptiness with material goods until you no longer perceive their significance.
Society tells men to stuff women. Watch the male figure stuff them and use them. Fill them to his pleasure. Holes.

Shrinkage
Nature is cyclical. Life causes death, causes life, causes death. Rinse and repeat.
The universe is expanded outwards equally. Spherical.
Black holes are holes. Round.
The rotational pull to the Sun is circular. The Earth turns. The atoms inside your body spin made up of smaller and smaller and smaller particles. All is circular.
