WE KNOW TRAINS.

[mylittlebookofquotes]

Girls are trained to say, ‘I wrote this, but it’s probably really stupid.’ Well, no, you wouldn’t write a novel if you thought it was really stupid. Men are much more comfortable going, ‘I wrote this book because I have a unique perspective that the world needs to hear.’ Girls are taught from the age of seven that if you get a compliment, you don’t go, ‘Thank you’, you go, ‘No, you’re insane.’

Martin Klimas

Sonic Sculptures

Like a 3-D take on Jackson Pollock, the latest work by the artist Martin Klimas begins with splatters of paint in fuchsia, teal and lime green, positioned on a scrim over the diaphragm of a speaker. 

Then the volume is turned up. For each image, Klimas selects music — typically something dynamic and percussive, like Karlheinz Stockhausen, Miles Davis or Kraftwerk — and the vibration of the speaker sends the paint aloft in patterns that reveal themselves through the lens of his Hasselblad. Sonic Sculptures is a synaesthetic interplay of sound, shape and color. For this series, Klimas spent about 1,000 shots to produce the final images from his studio in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Tosh! Twaddle! Guff! Grayson Perry's comic take on the art world – in pictures

In these new works, Grayson Perry is an artist action figure, wearing a helmet of mischief and swiping his blade of cynicism at Jackson Pollock, Damien Hirst and gentrification

Brilliant.  Astute.  Observant.  Hilarious.
