Remember when nikkas use to pretend to be into stuff like Basquiat?

art hoes be giving it up ha*

no cap they be the most open minded

That was still going strong in the A at both the High Museum and Fernbank before Covid. It was cool to just hang out, drink, and not have to worry about foolishness.

I haven’t been to either in a long ass time. It was fun when it first popped off but it go boring quick imo

everyone I hang with now is addicted to hookah

damn, I think I saw this in a movie and to the folks more rounded in the sale of art can you confirm?

But I remember seeing something in a movie where this white lady was saying something along the lines “I introed you to my client base and friends, I helped make you and can break your art career”... my question is in this situation, how much of this comes into play for artist? Like once some rich white person pays an amount of money for an artist work, does word spread that fast and the price goes up?

Exactly, that’s literally how everyone has gotten put on.

Basquiat was brilliant. This thread is pathetic.

 

[Unknown Poster]

People going to museums on Friday nights to drink cocktails, dress in weird suits and blazers and walk around the gallery

So Black people wanting to be cultured is somehow laughable or wrong?


Noted.

Threads like this is why Black people do not advance mentally. This mentality that somehow wanting to be cultured, liking art outside of the box, and other shyt is "for white people" is poison .

nikkas didn’t give a fukk about the art or exhibits. It was hoes at the art gallery because they had a DJ and drinks

Who cares? They still found themselves introduced to a new world, one that opened their eyes to different types of creativity that many of them still cherish. Swizz Beats is a celebrated curator of art whose focus on black art has led to many up and coming black artists making strides in their craft they otherwise wouldn’t have because of racism.

Thread is shortsighted as fukk.

everybody wanna be different

This what happens when you have too many Dinners with Jay-Z

But it's dinner with Jay-Z. He'll give you food for thought, but you have to do the dishes.

 

[SadimirPutin]

I like art but large swaths of that contemporary or abstract stuff is very hit or miss with me

 

[SadimirPutin]

I still do stuff like that. I like going to the museum.

damn right...drinks dont drink themselves

 

[Rack4K]

You have to be pretty myopic to call an era 'weird' because people liked certain art. Weird compared to what? Rappers dying of opiates and gun fire every week? Women walking around with big fake unrealistic asses? I wish all nikkas did was pretend to like art

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

That look like Warlock from The New Mutants drawn by bill Sienkiewicz.....​

 

[big bun]

black people showing respect to a black artist is pretentious now

wow

See what I mean, y’all.

2013-2014 was such a weird era

People going to museums on Friday nights to drink cocktails, dress in weird suits and blazers and walk around the gallery


It’s like all of sudden nikkas just stop pretending like they were into that stuff and you would never know this was an era

also reminds me when cats were suddenly getting into kung fu flicks and started buying in them bulk but not admitting they really hated that shyt..
