This drama between Kapoor and Semple is hilarious and I can’t think of a better way to start 2017 than two artists having a pissing contest, but keep these facts about Vantablack in mind when you’re slamming Kapoor for “hogging” Vantablack.
Are you team Stuart Semple or team Anish Kapoor?
THIS IS ANISH KAPOOR’S INSTAGRAM I AM SCREAMING AT HOW PETTY THIS IS
Who’s the narc that gave him the pink
I’m screaming
But the statement is the best:
Kapoor or one of his agents has, it’s worth noting, violated the terms of service put forth on Semple’s website, and Semple isn’t happy. He expressed his deep concern over the situation in an email to artnet News:
We are all extremely disappointed to see that Anish Kapoor has illegally acquired the world’s pinkest pink. He’s walked into this paint war with a gesture that cannot be misconstrued. He’s given the art community a bright pink middle finger. He is still very much at large. Not only has he refused to share the black, he’s now stolen our pink. Rest assured, we will get to the bottom of who has purchased this on Anish Kapoor’s behalf and broken their contractual agreement with culturehustle.com, and we will instruct our lawyers to take appropriate action against such breaches. We are pleased to note that he has not managed to get his hands on the World’s Glitteriest Glitter—yet—and we urge purchasers not to share the product with Kapoor or his associates.
I don’t get it?
Basically this guy, Anish Kapoor, had made a deal with NanoSystem, the people producing Vantablack, or the blackest black paint pigment in the world, so that he would have exclusive rights to use it for art purposes.
This naturally upset a great number of people in the art world, to say the least, as many other people were excited to experiment with using the Vantablack pigment in their art. Therefore, as an act of retaliation, artist Stuart Semple released PINK, the world’s pink pigment under the stipulation that anyone in the world could buy it, except for Anish Kapoor. At the time of purchase, the purchaser has to agree to a legal statement saying that they are not Anish Kapoor and will not willing or knowingly give the pigment to Anish Kapoor.
By this image, it indicates that someone violated that agreement and provided the pigment to Kapoor. Thus why Semple is pursing legal action. I hope this helps clear some things up.
stuart semple got his hands on the black
@africanaquarian update on the art hoe drama
OH MY G OD
SEMPLE PUT ON HIS INSTAGRAM STORY THAT THEY FOUND THE NARC AND THERE WILL BE RETRIBUTION I’M SCREAMING
I would like to point out that Vantablack cannot be grown (it’s not actually paint so yes it is GROWN) without heating it and the surface it is being applied to to at least 430°C, and I have heard no news about that heat requirement changing. So if Semple did indeed get his fingers coated in Vantablack, it probably hurt a whole fucking lot XD
At first I was really fucking amused but then I did something stupid and read some of the replies/reblogs on this thing and the number of people who don’t know anything about Vantablack other than “it is the blackest black” is actually kind of frustrating and annoying. If nothing else, I would have hoped most people would know that it’s not a pigment and that it requires extreme heat to create.
ngl if Nanosystems hadn’t given the exclusive rights to Kapoor to use it artistically, they probably would have given them to someone else. Or maybe they wouldn’t have let anyone use it artistically. Nanosystems is extremely careful about who they sell this shit to, due in part to the export regulations the UK has imposed on it. It’s all in Nanosystems’ Vantablack FAQ page, but I’m just going to break right here down why Vantablack is not going to be available for widespread private artistic use any time soon (hint: it has nothing to do with Anish Kapoor obtaining the rights to it).
It is not a pigment.
It is not a dye.
You cannot dip a paint brush in it an smear it onto a substrate.
It’s basically a field of microscopic tubes that go flat if you touch them.
The Original Vantablack must be applied at Nanosystems’ facility.
It takes like 2 fucking days to do.
Also the nanotubes require at least 430°C to grow.
That’s more than 800°F
The spray version also requires professional application and post processing to do it’s thing.
Also it is ounce for ounce more expensive than diamonds and gold.
You can’t afford it.
Also the UK govt is regulating it’s export.
Educate your damn selves before you start getting mad about shit and calling people selfish. My god.
Love health insurance, really do
Insurance company: oh yeah sure we'll pay your doctor to shove a camera down your throat and check out your stomach.
Insurance company: Oh, but we're not going to pay the hospital to use their facilities.
Insurance company: Or the anesthesiologist to knock you out so the procedure can be done.

Ahhhh, thank you for the photo! The Terra is @heiligeharmonie.
In the USA, it’s 100x cheaper to take an Uber to the hospital instead of an ambulance.
I don’t know if this is true or.. Like, having to pay for an ambulance that is taking you to the hospital? That doesn’t make any sense. What kind of distopian world is that?
It costs thousands of dollars to ride in an ambulance
In America some people with chronic health conditions like epilepsy literally have to wear medical IDs that say “don’t call an ambulance/911”. Some well-meaning person calling an ambulance for you will turn into a thousand (or couple thousand) dollars that YOU are on the hook for, even though you didn’t make the call. So, PSA: if you see someone having a seizure, look for a medical ID! You should only call an ambulance if: the person is elderly, pregnant, or the seizure lasts more than 4 minutes. Otherwise, wait for the seizure to pass, then ask the person if they want an ambulance when they regain consciousness.
Oh my god what. Here in Quebec, if you call an ambulance for something they deem non-emergency, you get a bill later for like $180. But if it’s anything like a loss of consciousness, chest pains, labour, whatever, or if you’re in a public place and a a well-meaning samaritan calls 911, it’s paid for by the government. Seriously, everything about healthcare in the US makes me want to cry.
Imagine a world where you have to wear tags to tell people trying to help you that “It’s ok, don’t try to help, I can’t afford to pay if someone tries to save my life. I’ll just take my chances and hope it’s not life-threatening.”
I never understood this shit. You don’t ask for an ambulance ride, but they’ll give you one anyway an demand you pay for it like what if someone washed all your windows in the middle of the night without asking you if you wanted their services and then demanded you pay them for it the next day?
Many people here in the US want “free/affordable healthcare” but have no desire to push for it nor do they want to pay extra taxes to do so because their mentality is: “Why should I have pay for some one else’s health insurance. Especially if they are an awful human being”
So, like 6 years ago, two of my friends and I were in a car accident. They put all three of us in the same ambulance.
The ambulance company then proceeded to charge each of us the full price. Like, whoa there, I have to share my ride, but I can’t split the cost? That’s low, even for capitalism.
Took my mom to see Civil War last night
There is only one thing that made me cry, and no other scene, whether it upset me or made me laugh or made me cheer, even came close to matching the emotional distress I felt in that moment:
The text message to Steve.
I burst into tears immediately.
I had to cover my mouth to minimize the disturbance to other people because of my gross sobbing.
I was a mess. It was so bad.

College
Me, parking at 8am: Did that crow have a piece of pizza in its beak?
There are some parents who will encourage their children to stay on track in college, to accept the challenge certain courses present and persevere, because life isn’t always easy and you don’t always get to pick and choose which challenges you want to overcome and when.
Then there’s parents like my mom, who walk in on me crying, listen to why I don’t feel comfortable with X course at this particular time, and tells me to drop it and take it later.
