I feel it unfortunate that your post didn't delve into the shit as art movement that was highly subsidized and publicized.

This is where, i feel, that art died.

It is like the recent interview of Pettibone by Molyneux where she describes that all of the publishing houses want stories with trans/gay/non-white characters.

That, they don't want good stories, that may contain such characters, they want the virtue signalling more than the art.

So, there is nothing for the art critic to actually critique. It is just a list of checking the boxes of how much of a minority the art and the artist is.
