Art Stupid Museums

More From Edmond De Goncourt

The place has had a super-conflicted relationship to its mission. in 1956, it opened as the museum of contemporary crafts. then in 1986 it had a midlife crisis and changed its name to the american craft museum. then in 2002 the name changed again, this time to the museum of arts and design. maybe in 2025 the place will be called the designatorium. the big problem with a museum of craft and design is that all art has craft and design.

Learn all you can, don't be lazy. nothing's worse than being stupid. being broke is bad, but being stupid is what's really bad. and what's really really bad is being broke and stupid. nothing's much worse than that. unless you're sick. sick, broke and stupid, that’s about as far as you can fall unless you're ugly. surely that would be the ultimate; ugly, sick, broke and stupid.

Stealing, of course, is a crime, and a very impolite thing to do. but like most impolite things, it is excusable under certain circumstances. stealing is not excusable if, for instance, you are in a museum and you decide that a certain painting would look better in your house, and you simply grab the painting and take it there. but if you were very, very hungry, and you had no way of obtaining money, it would be excusable to grab the painting, take it to your house, and eat it.

Having a hummer is stupid. it's stupid to waste that much gas. it's stupid to waste that much money on gas. it's stupid to parade your insecurities on public roads. hummers are stupid-looking.

People were paid lots of money to make stupid decisions, people in big banks, and when people are paid to be stupid they'll be stupid. the question was, did they know they were being stupid or were they just stupid? i think you need to take it on a case by case basis. there was some sinister activity, but i think by and by it was people being incentivised to do the wrong thing.

I have always preferred the company of older people. no one in the history of the world has had less interest in the young than i do. i am not interested in what young people are thinking. they're thinking less than old people, of course. i mean, what could they be thinking? and what are they doing? they're doing the same stupid things you did.

Alpha children wear grey. they work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. i'm awfully glad i'm a beta, because i don't work so hard. and then we are much better than the gammas and deltas. gammas are stupid. they all wear green, and delta children wear khaki. oh no, i don't want to play with delta children. and epsilons are still worse. they're too stupid to be able to read or write. besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. i'm so glad i'm a beta.
