As documented in the book Cynical Theories, Democrats’ critical theory creed grew out of postmodernism. Postmodernism is doing to politics what it did long ago to art. Having pushed the postmodernist envelope as far as they could in every other direction, an artist has resorted to openly admitting that art has been reduced to a scam:

A Danish artist was given $84,000 by a museum to use in a work of art. When he delivered the piece he was supposed to make, it was not as promised. Instead, the artist, Jens Haaning, gave the Kunsten Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg, Denmark two blank canvases and said they were titled “Take the Money and Run.”

They expected him to literally use the money in the piece, as he had done in previous work. But Haaning has better uses for it.

This may be the biggest event in art history since 1917, when Marcel Duchamp purchased a urinal, turned it upside down, signed it “R. Mutt,” and submitted it as an artwork entitled Fountain to New York’s Society of Independent Artists.

We will know that moonbattery has begun to recede when art once again requires skill rather than gall.
