Art and anti-art

Think of art like matter. Art and anti-art. Art is predictable, follows rules, tells truths. Art has a lot of baggage like ethics, reason, money, and aesthetic truth.

But anti-art is everything that art is not. It rejects truth, reason, authenticity, authorship, property, and everything that makes art what art is. Anything art does, anti art will oppose.

Anti-art will destroy art. Transform it, deform it, and reform it into something else. Art is about something. Anti-art contends that even something is nothing, and nothing is nothing, and that art is nothing, and even anti-art is nothing.

And the world, which is neither something or nothing, spins around one more time.
