Art of the Critic

2003, 16 minutes

A drunken art critic sabotages the launch of a new art movement.

A drunken art critic sabotages the launch of a new art movement by discouraging a major curator from buying a set of modern art installations. Incensed by his interference, the ‘New Brutalist Artists’ turn him into a piece of saleable art. But even this act of artistic terrorism fails to silence the Philistine. Based on the Millionaire financier and former head of London’s Institute of Contemporary Art Ivan Massow, who was fired for calling conceptual art ‘talentless, craftless tat’.
