No More Artist Statements

While this looks like text, it is actually an image, so fuck off

I'm being forced by the institutional overlord that is my professor and TA to produce a document that statements my art. This piece of travesty against all visual understanding is known as the artist statement. It is a document that is necessary to prove that one is not a slack ass, retarded artist like all those bums on the street. It's to prove your work is the product of a well trained and educated brain instead of just from some dood who accidentally splattered some paint on some wood. When you use the phrase "rejection of form and representation" you are worthy of money regardless of what your quotational piece of crap painting looks like.

I'm having an "artistic response towards negation" of this whole contemporary art business. If someone can't figure out what my drawing means, then too bad. I shouldn't have to write to defend my visuality, that merely expresses that visuality is subordinate to writing in expressing ideas. If I have to always write to justify, why don't I skip the whole "making art" bit and just write philosophy?

Now, the ultimate goal here is to channel all of this frustration and hatred into something visual that I can beat suckers over the head with. Fuck the gallery and those stupid white walls. Text is for suckers.
