This is what I am talking about when I say that visual arts are being presently totally devalued except as an occasional money maker for speculators.
"A 12-year-old North Korean refugee is appearing in a new show at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul. The South Korean artist Kyungah Ham enlisted the boy—who defected from the totalitarian country three years ago by swimming across the Alligator River—to participate as part of her entry to the quadrennial Korea Artist Prize exhibition, on view through January 15, 2017. An aspiring professional soccer player, he appears kicking a ball around a U-shaped ramp that has been splattered with paint, spreading the colors as he goes. Ham is one of four artists competing for the $37,000 prize, alongside Kim Eull, Back Seung-Woo, and the collective Mixrice."
$37,000 could go a long way in feeding a lot of Refugees and housing some. Why aren't people raising that kind of money among the rich to help Refugees by having legitimate art auctions, instead of exploiting this poor young child in a ridiculous charade.
With the advent of these kinds of acts Visual Arts will be so devalued there will be no point in going to an Art Academy or College any longer, just get your dog to piss on a few canvasses...
People shouldn't be exploiting poor children and unsuspecting dogs for kicks...
