This one particularly resonates with me:
6. Transgression (subversion, dangerous or revolutionary potential) doesn't exist in recent "art" streaming. Mega Project of Modernism/Postmodernism are finished. Paradoxaly-expansion of technology needs renaissance spirit. Pre-modernism includes crafts,skills,alchemy (cyber paranoiac projection of particular and superficial knowledge about many details, which lied to amateurism). "Artist" is surrounded by a number of difficulties, to survive he needs to be malted with Mega Myth rules. Or he can decide to stay on the periphery, in dangerous places without rules,low,court,wild in every moment,corrupted, humble and poor,completely depend of foreign donation. Without market at all, especially "art" market.

quite. we've finally got our any-to-many medium, so why are so many of us still waiting in line for the revolution to be curated and bronzed? self-pimping ain't punk (never was, never will be), and howard finster eats fops like damien hirst for breakfast.
Post-Pistols case study: john lydon (amateur punk) spawned the brilliance that was Public Image Ltd; whereas Malcolm McLaren (situationist wannabe and proto-saatchi fashion playa) went on to manage Bow Wow Wow and record "buffallo gals." He who has ears, let him hear.
