Comments on: Apropos to the Kaavya Affair http://platosbeard.org/archives/90 whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must make random noises Thu, 17 May 2012 00:55:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Doyle Saylor http://platosbeard.org/archives/90/comment-page-1#comment-76 Doyle Saylor Wed, 24 May 2006 22:07:12 +0000 http://platosbeard.org/wordpress/?p=90#comment-76 I looked at the article. In my little niche, disability media there is a similar sort of marginalization. People get up in arms about disabled tokens who are craven ass kissers with no disabled voice but over all, it's the lack of voice that really matters. What I mean is that the pain of having so much barriers to get across is the real source of pain. The parvenu who falsified their work often can't be distinguished from the Andy Warhol who wallows in 'bad' art. I've run into amongst AA (African Americans) a certain amount of not wanting to 'represent' the race. They don't want to be the role model. The resonates for me also. Failure is the artists ever present haint (spectral figure looming in the shadows). Some like myself see representation of the group as a very hard place to live one's life. To calculate what would really be right as the norm creates a mask of false face for the world. See existentialism. Your concern of course is that representation is lacking. So you feel quite opposite me. There is no doubt a substantial racist component to the lack of representation. But the people who must break through are never up to standard. Their flaws are there always. It's the readiness in my view to hold all the messy assemblage in ones arms. Weeping over the problems and pains and inhaling the fumes of the process to extrude like magma from the earth to fill in the gaps. That's what creates art. thanks, Doyle I looked at the article.

People get up in arms about disabled tokens who are craven ass kissers with no disabled voice but over all, it’s the lack of voice that really matters. What I mean is that the pain of having so much barriers to get across is the real source of pain. The parvenu who falsified their work often can’t be distinguished from the Andy Warhol who wallows in ‘bad’ art.
