Art can be hard to understand unless you are in the know. Museums have art from the past but art galleries have the newest and coolest art with super high price tags. I go once in a while so I can keep up with the times. The last time I went I saw a giant kite with graffiti on it hanging from the ceiling, a video of a man punching flowers, a statute made out of cereal boxes and some ripped canvases with bloody plastic heads coming out of them. To make money in the art field you have to do something first because if you come in second nobody cares. For instance in a museum I saw canvases in strange shapes that were all painted a solid color. Someone figured that out and used a roller brush ever since but it’s too late for anyone else to do it. If you think about it, the hardest part of making big money as an artist is coming up with that new idea. If I wanted to be an artist first I would make a statue out of clay and put it in a glass box with a test tube dripping acid on the statue. It would melt the statue and create a new artwork every few seconds. That’s what I would tell people anyway and I would have a camera set up to take pictures of it every time the acid dropped on it. People could stand and watch the statue melt and I would have the different pictures for sale. They wouldn’t just be plain pictures though. I would stand in a corner behind a glass screen and slash the pictures with a sword or blacken them with a torch and people could watch that too and buy the pictures. I would set all that up in a little gallery and have a DJ play wild music in the background and have a bar where people could buy cocktails while they watch the art. It would be one wild party and people would feel in the know because it would be crazy art nouveau they could tell their friends about and put on Instagram. Every few weeks I would come up with some new wild art so people would keep coming back. I might not make it into the history books as an artist but I would have tons of fun riding that gravy train all the way to the bank.
