Phuck conceptual art (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Phuck-conceptual-art/)
In case the formentioned link doesn't give you the full deal, conceptualist art basically centres around the idea being more important than the process itself. Whilst it sounds like a neat idea at first, it is more often than not a case of taking everyday objects, such as a mouldy bit of cheese, to present as the final piece of art and for those familier with comtemporary arts and music it just seems to give people an excuse to get away with what is commonly deemed as daft shat. Yes like you're really being awesome by doing a job non-artist folk do every day. Even Marcel Duchamp said he was taking the piss when he took a toilet and said it was a sculpture of a fountain.
And sadly this prentious bullshit is ruling the artworld as we speak, and further annoying is how i'm generally not gonna get a good grade at uni unless i pour baked beans over this laptop that i'm typing on and pass it off as a Wallaby. Us hardworking painters (or generic illustrators as they call us, art teachers aren't big on pen and ink and whatnot) just don't get a look in.
Thankfully my day has been made after browsing phuck conceptualism upon knowing that the flame of justice still burns bright, and romanticist surrealists (like me i guess) can still strike lucky.
Sadly, all things considered, anyone getting filthy rich from making copy-and-past-from-games sprite comics here are my mortal enemies.
If you feel this thread is better off in the art section mods be my guest.
