weekly Go Flip Yourself

Being a “member” means that you belong to the place, and the place belongs to you.

Instead, art and culture have been safely neutralized as interchangeable commercial objects just like everything else.

At its best, cultural criticism is love and art that exists to give love to other expressions of art. It’s beautiful in its indulgence. A positive feedback loop that gives everybody exactly what they desire. Gods, scribes, muses, an audience, a culmination. This is what we want out of art. Something that feels grand, meaningful, connected to the ages. That doesn’t happen on its own. It needs context, dedicated space, deeper knowledge, appreciation.

“This is our paradox. When we are apart: hypervigilance. When we are together: inattention.”
