Everyone Sucks

Autor Lg Williams
en Limba Engleză Paperback
"EVERYONE SUCKS" by LG Williams has an apocalyptic-looking cover and a title that needs explication. The book is not an aesthetic doomsday scenario, quite the contrary, as the explanation of the title will show. Williams, who is an unemployed surfer in Beverly Hills, completed this artwork in late 2002, and in it, he explains in a logical, well-considered progression why he believes that art is at a final resting point in progressive art history, and that that future art will render humanity as less than what it could be - comfort seeking, self-involved, "men without chests." The book, which could be subtitled "I Love Art and Why You Should Too", builds on LG's idea that there could be further, progressive art. This is what LG is referring to when he says that Art has reached its end; he doesn't mean that nothing else will happen, but that the progression of art history toward a universally beneficial system of brilliant nonsense has culminated in commercial mediocrity and bureaucrats. He defines mediocrity "as a rule of art that does not recognise individual genius or freedoms from forces of control, stupidity, and domination" and he defines those rights in three classes, wrong rights, commercial rights and left rights. But he cautions that Nietzsche believed in war and conflict as a way for humanity to express its passions, and that without conflict in the Jungian sense (LG says that great artist do not attack each other), humans will become soft, meaningless, and passionless. LG does not advocate that artist become "the last artists," even though in this volume, he believes the End of Art is near.
