The critic is crazy 2 - Nº 0 : Darcey D.Construct, the american critic

About me:
I am a cultural descendant of Duchamp. What I say is art, is art! Art is democratic: everything is art and everyone is an artist. I have been accused of being ignorant and anti-intellectual. Why do I need to know about history when it's all about the future? I do what I do, and if I don't know something, it isn't worth knowing. I live in a city, but some people call me provincial because the important place is my home, my family, my friends, and what we share. That is my community.  That is my art world.   If my  friends and I like it, it must be good. I don't need to use big fancy words when I write about art. I use simple words and plain speech because I'm genuine and innocent.  I just "keep it real".  Cultural context? Who cares. I don't watch T.V., or know what the culture is doing because  society is evil and bad.

Destiny Nº 0 - Going to Texas ..... to graffiti a Picasso painting?

??? At a museum in Houston, Texas… a man… if you can call someone who would do such a thing… a man… walked up to a Picasso painting… held a stencil against it… and spray painted a bull… all but ruining the 1929 masterpiece. Picasso painted the “Woman in red arm Chair” more than 80 years ago. The work belonged to the late John and Dominique de Menil… and their extensive collection is on display in the Houston museum. The vandal was able to flee the scene before being apprehended… however… a man who was illegally using his cell phone to record his tour caught the man on camera before he made his getaway. Authorities are looking for the graffiti nutcase who shouted he was an up and coming Mexican-American artist. Red Pinkerton: Picasso's Woman in Red Arm Chair ruined
