ihcoyc: Shocked! (Shock and Awe)
This site collects lovely examples of unintelligible prose talking about art. Ah, the twentieth century, and its contemporary echoes! Who did they think they were fooling?

"The crystal butt plug platter, stretched urinal/double glory hole, and stainless steel liquor sets each reveal the sexual charge of class consciousness."

"Motifs repeatedly hint at acts of subversion, fictions half-uttered as if time had momentarily stopped, the present dissolving."

"Cathy Wilkes’s sculptural installations tend to claim sovereignty over the spaces they occupy. Her sprawling, unanchored constellations––often involving minute objects––have rendered her work vulnerable to disruption and instilled a sense of anxiety that has become a signature theme."

There's more! )
