We zullen in alle eerbied afscheid nemen van de werken, inclusief koffietafel en sobere muziek.
Jaarlijks verdwijnen er duizenden schilderijen in de kliko. Niemand wil ze meer hebben. Het zijn probeersels van kinderen tot profesionele kunstenaars die voor hun overleiden hun werk vernietigen. Ter nagedachtelis aan deze creaties zullen we vijf duizend schilderijen neerleggen het Griftpark. Het is een herdenking van het overleden schilderij.
Arthur Danto en Donald Kuspit hebben biede The end of Art al zien aankomen en op hun manier beschreven.
The "end of art" refers to the beginning of our modern era of art in which art no longer adheres to the constraints of imitation theory but serves a new purpose. Art began with an "era of imitation, followed by an era of ideology, followed by our post-historical era in which, with qualification, anything goes... In our narrative, at first only mimesis [imitation] was art, then several things were art but each tried to extinguish its competitors, and then, finally, it became apparent that there were no stylistic or philosophical constraints. There is no special way works of art have to be. And that is the present and, I should say, the final moment in the master narrative. It is the end of the story."[18] Arthur Danto Wikipedia
In The End of Art, Donald Kuspit argues that art is over because it has lost its aesthetic import. Art has been replaced by 'postart', a term invented by Alan Kaprow, as a new visual category that elevates the banal over the enigmatic, the scatological over the sacred, cleverness over creativity. Tracing the demise of aesthetic experience to the works and theory of Marcel Duchamp and Barnett Newman, Kuspit argues that devaluation is inseparable from the entropic character of modern art, and that anti-aesthetic postmodern art is its final state.
