Why do some creative types feel compelled to express themselves like bureacrats?
Covering culture for the Los Angeles Times, I've interviewed curators and artists who spoke so much gobbledy gook I could not glean a single coherent insight.
Blame it on ArtSpeak. Here's a recent example (excerpted from a catalog for a Los Angeles area exhibition).
"I call the distribution of the sensible the system of self evident facts of sense perception that simultaneously discloses the existence of something in common and the delmitation that defines the respective parts and positions within it."
What the hell does that mean?
The image above, by the way, has nothing to do with ArtSpeak. It's from a pretty cool book of decals titled StickerBomb by an artist who goes by the name Drypnz.
