I asked the same questions myself I mean if someone would pay for it so much stuff we could all do this.

NO

ITS ALL DICK AS LENON WOULD SAY..

Shaun, you are all over this thread with your capital letters. You don't like Pistoletto's work, we get it. Why not find an artist you do like and add some joyful comments to the internet instead of abusing people who like something which you do not. You are not going to change anybody's mind, you simply make yourself appear obsessive and sad.

That whiteboard does not work.l

Couple of responses that I thought of. Not trying to change your mind or anything, just giving a perspective. 1. I think the piece is meant to seem like that at first, but I think it actually does line up with what he says. The first instinct is to think that the artist is saying he is God, and I think that's intentional. But thinking about what he said about "I exist, and I create God" the meaning seems to be almost analogous to the Descartes statement "I think, therefore I am." I don't know that there's a proverbial man in the sky, but I know that I'm here, and that I have the power to believe in Him, and through that belief I can create a sense of Him that serves to me as Him. Personally, I think that also links the piece to the rest of the space, where the power given to the people who occupied it was sustained by a belief that they had/deserved that power. 2. Symbols are powerful, and a good one can have impact, even if it appears to be a "worn-out" one. A single looping line is not going to change the fabric of humanity, but the causes and ideals it represents can cause actions that do. Two crossed lines can't do anything on their own, but given context and action, they can offer salvation, deliver life-saving medicine, etc. 3. Don't have much here, maybe something in attribution went wrong? Or maybe it was a mock-up that the artist saw and it just turned out to look like a more recent thing? I'm not sure.

THATS BECAUSE ITS SHIT...
