Illuminating four-minute short on Kelly Slater's recent artshow, Apolitical Process.
Yeah, sure, we’ve been milking the hell out of Kelly Slater’s art show in Venice last week. But what do you do? Where I found the event, viewed from far, as smooth and as licked as bathroom porcelain, BeachGrit‘s writer for the night, the noted broadcaster David Lee Scales found it irrational and unpersuasive.
The New York-based, born-in-Canada magazine, Vice, just published a four-minute short on the event, one that, to me, gives the best window into the show. We see the anti-Sea World painted boards of Kevin Ancell (the sharp-eyed reader will note Vice gets Ancell’s name wrong – accuracy, or balance for that matter, aren’t Vice strong points), the surreal and mutated sculptures of Florida’s Bruce Reynolds and Todd Glaser’s monochrome photography.
If you, like most, recoil at the likelihood of a Trump presidency, you’ll love Bruce Reynolds’ eloquent The Great Wall of Trump.
“This is a cautionary tale… I sometimes feel that our leadership is selected, not elected,” says Reynolds.
Watch here.
No All seeing eye or freemason symbols everywhere? Kelly, your really losing your semi troll,” is he actually that whacked ” intrigue.
…yeah, it demonstrated a clarity of vision, I thought, a rational clarity, most importantly.
