Oh dear,
why must it be me? I am very unfond of contemporary art in general and Ai Weiwei in particular. Yet, my mind is set on writing that thesis paper on his tea house (2009). Now I am in the midst of finding out what that transcultural chitchat actually means. I look forward to the day when I can respond in a sonorous voice to people talking in their pig latin about theories they did not grab as a whole, applying this gibberish on very ugly media-performed-cyberesque-intertrans-postgender-postcolonial-postmodern art…
Here I will collect several basic theoretical works on the structure behind contemporary art… (and how to deconstruct all the hot air around it!)
