Animal Collective to Ruin Art

Animal Collective will be taking over the Guggenheim Museum later today. New music, new costumes, new lighting. Astronauts on the new space station can actually hear Pitchfork orgasm right now. As the Guggenheim writes,

For the Guggenheim’s 50th Anniversary, the Supergroup band Animal Collective has collaborated with artist Danny Perez on a artsy fartsy elitist site-specific performance piece that will transform the museum’s rotunda into a hipster sociological zoo. kinetic, psychedelic environment. Transverse Temporal Gyrus (I assume that is a band name?!?!) will feature original recorded music composed specifically for the event along with blah blah blah pretentious artistic throw up video projections, costumes, and props, rendering the band members and performers into intense, visual abstractions. During the evening, guests are invited to freely explore the space in order to fully immerse themselves in the hell on earth environment created by Animal Collective and Danny Perez.

Animal Collective

It's Animal Collective, not Animal Coolective

Guggenheim, What The Fuck? I get that you just turned 50 and now you’re going through a mid life crisis. I get that you want to be hip, cool, and set some new trends. But come on. Marc Chagall would be pissing on his artwork then lighting it on fire because it was in your museum. Guggenheim houses Expressionist, Cubist, and Surrealist works of art. Animal Collective is ‘Experimental’. In no way do they come together (without the help of drugs or a hammer to the head).

Anyone else tired of this shit? Who really wants to go to this? Every 14 year old will be dropping acid before this clusterfuck and then try to rub up against you. Just what I need. A 14 year old dressed up like a Native American who thinks he/she is an owl humping my leg. Fuck that noise.

  1. poor anco. just a couple hip dads makin music for use by hypnotists. why did they have to get wrapped up into things like guggenheim art installations? that shite should be left to the david longstrenths of the world.

  2. i love how “due to popular demand” they’re doing a second performance of the same show. this makes sense, since art (specifically “performance” art) is very easy to recreate and mass produce…especially when the audience pays well. that’s what art is kids, right?

  3. You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view

    • I didnt express my opinion? Or are you just a spammer sent here so I could click on your link so you could spam me
