Frens I don't understand modern art. The owner keeps telling me how subversive the piece is but it just looks like splotches to me.

Just look at the nameplate sideways fren then it makes sense

No it doesn’t

I agree fren, it is very... abstract.

Fren, surely you can recognize certain patterns, right?

I dunno fren. My teecher at UC Frenkley tell me I need to stop noticing things.

Careful not to notice certain patterns, fren

Try looking outside the box fren. Sometimes you can find real meaning out there, to make sense of the inside feels

Worth many a shekel, my fren.

I see a scoundrel and a crook

I don't understand frens

Don’t worry fren, I’m not too bright either

Fren, contemporary art is a scam.

I took a contemporary art history course at Nonfren U, and every piece was just an excuse to "study" some political statement that was not at all discernible from the art itself. You need a "teacher" to tell you what contemporary art means because in itself it is meaningless, it is simply a token used to abstractly represent a political ideology.

In addition it used to do tax froud by commissioning a piece and the getting someone to judge its price, and if the person had to pay 5mil in tax the person judging a piece will say it costs 5 mil, it will be then given to a museum, because of US law if you give a piece to a museum you have to pay that much less tax

Thanks, that is a big piece of the puzzle for me. I've studied it in Canada, I wonder if the same tax exemptione xists. I had wondered why in the 50s you started getting this huge push for Government subsidy of "bachelor of fine arts" programs, prior to that 'art' was a technical/vocational school thing, like sewing. The way the racket works for the "artists" in Canada is that the grantwriting cycle is based on how many previous exhibitions you've had, you need at least one to even apply, and almost nobody will be able to hold an art exhibition (unless they own property). So, as part of your BFA degree, you get to be part of an exhibition or two in some student gallery thus giving you a leg up over hoi polloi re: grantwriting.

The white represents racism and black spots represent diversity being oppressed by all that whiteness.

money was laundered with this, and two politicians could be bribed with a "commission" for the sale. this could be your money, too, fren, if you are smart.
