MetaConstruct Manifesto:

annihilation poetics and amagideon art in an authoritarian and antagonistic=
 age

<http://www.bbrace.net/M-scans/M-scans.html>

  Contemporary "Artworld artists" on the self-aggrandizing circuit, are inv=
ariably
reduced to illustrating and trivializing popular political opinions under t=
he
deceitful guise of creating clever cultural currency and cloying "relevancy=
=2E" Are
you just as amazed to learn that apparently most of these (disingenuous)
"artists" today have regular commercial gallery exhibits, international
representation, government funding, cushy teaching jobs, critical support,
duplicitous colleagues, fancy homes and professional studios/supplies?... (=
While
basic necessities are routinely denied to many of us our entire working-liv=
es by
creepy, arrogant Artworld and Corporate despots...) Accordingly, my MetaCon=
struct
installations can now only occur in the aftermath of significant cultural
devastation -- gutted, globalized galleries, discredited
curators, fraudulent
Arts-funding and the hoax of institutional Art-history...

In the 20+ years since my last public installation, these various, modest
components have continued to be developed beyond their depicted states
here/online. Obviously, increasingly corrupt and incestuous Art Institution=
s
cannot be trusted to exhibit and support, fine integral work that enables i=
dioms
rather than regurgitated stylistic/ideological constraints and apologetics.=
=2E.

  Perhaps, at-heart, this work was always an independent aspiration seeking
intimate constellar conditions for its long-regarded re-entry into a respec=
table
realm -- poised as it was, on the perpetually charred cultural rubble of th=
e
present -- but we still yearn for righteous revenge, equitable access to
resources, and an end to irresponsible, supercilious, cabalistic, cultural
imperialism.
