Bad-Acting and Wrong-Thinking
“So, I’ll tell you what I would like. I would like some bad-acting and wrong-thinking. I would like to see some art that is courageously silly and frivolous, that cannot be construed as anything else. I would like a bunch of twenty-three-year-old troublemakers to become so enthusiastic, so noisy, and so involved in some stupid, seductive, destructive brand of visual culture that I would feel called upon to rise up in righteous indignation, spewing vitriol, to bemoan the arrogance and self=indulgence of the younger generation and all of its artifacts. then I would be really working, really doing my thing, and it would be so great! And it is going to happen, is already beginning to happen. The question is whether or not we will recognize it when it catches our eye.”
-Dave Hickey, From “Frivolity and Unction” in Air Guitar
