Pharrell's Perspectives Chairs: Seating the Corpses of Pop Surrealism
Pharrell's Perspectives Chairs
I hadn't realized until seeing these chairs by Pharrell on the Billionaire Boys Club Blog that I had missed all the previous pics. I had a very different chair in my head.
So the plunder and recombination of the past continues since that's all most artists have left. If you're trying to figure out what's going on, it's all art and fashion history everywhere you look. And with the positive response that I imagine these chair will evoke and the fact that even the lamest streetwear t's seem to get positive coverage, it's time to smash and grab the great art that no one seems to be reviving.
I'm not saying anybody's doing anything bad, per se, but I am saying that the freshness that many are experiencing is a combination of a lousy education system across the board, both public and private, and the fact that these corpses were handled by master technicians.
Update:
So these chairs aren't so awful but they did remind me of a weak version of something out of A Clockwork Orange. And that's when it hit me that with the kinds of things that are getting popular now that feed off the 60s and 70s, nobody's really drawing on the stronger work that was done, it's all the more superficial stuff, at least in the limited realm of activity that I'm currently following.
