On the news today there was a big fire in an industrial estate on London’s East End.
Loads of blokes in suits were highly agitated as a bunch of art works from “top british modern artists” had all gone up in flames and they belonged to a rich collector and a management company (who are suposed to look after all this stuff).
Whilst I’m no philistine, I looked at the list of destroyed artworks.
Stuff by sell-out “shock” artists like Damian Hirst and Tracey Emin – – overpriced tat which only gets recognition because those who made it kiss the right arses whilst far better work from other young artists (such as that shown at randomartists etc) is completely overlooked. It may sound harsh but I wasn’t particularly bothered it had burned, apart from the environmental pollution. And why the fuck keep compressed gas cylinders in the warehouses next to the rare art? People complain at free party crews because of fire safety and legit businesses do stuff like this.
Then I saw the pictures of wrecked buildings, fire engines – and started thinking….
Its s shame about those big warehouses being burned and made unuseable though………..
