are any of your artist friends in museums? a few of mine are.
i went to the school of the art institute. srsly, they’re a racket. a better racket than say, strip mining. but ppl serve on museum boards, hell, they start museums, to boost the value of the work they own. work they paid shit for from the artist. then they make millions. they arent the holy temples you think they are. no saints. just rich sinners.
