ruined art

Tuesday, November 3, 2009





















I recently had one of my drawing destroyed by a studio mate. It came between a wall and a large purple sculpture. I thought I would share my pain. I am remaking it now. It is an online list of porn categories with the number of results next to each one.

It has two titles at the moment. 'Dream Girl' and 'Female Nude'. Still deciding which one is most appropriate.

Fantasy vs voyeurism
I vote fantasy - Dream Girl is good

It works as a piece of found poetry. I like Dream Girl, holds more emotion.

...and I bet the purple sculpture is awful! I always found that the gods of the art studio had a particularly sharp sense of humour: the best works would always be destroyed by the worst...

About Mixtape

Mixtape is a blog run (loosely) by Linda Stupart as a manifestation of a project in which she collaborates with a large group of smart, interesting, wonderful cultural producers. As such, Mixtape documents these collaborations. More than that, though, the blog serves as a space for each member of the project to post whatever they like: Tell us what they’re making, thinking, doing or, even, feeling. The blog also forms a space for Linda, a Cape Town based critic, artist, feminist, WWE fan and cultural commentator, to post her writing.
