> If you can't attract an audience for your art, does it deserve funding? How do we decide that? Can anyone just make a papier-mache turd and get funding for it? If not, then who decides what is worth funding? On what basis? How do we stop nepotism and elitism from being the main factors for arts funding?

Paper mache turds are gauche. Real artists produce works that are extensions of themselves, capturing the very essence of their being. The texture should be genuine and the scent unmistakably original. True art requires a visceral connection, formed through a process of personal excavation. It's about creating something so authentic, viewers can practically taste the artist's commitment.

If it's not visceral, it ain't art: Kiss My Art https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBWTcAAtMj4

I can't tell whether this is serious or satire.

It's a joke about 'mierda de artista' I think.
