To talk about Camp is therefore to betray it. If the betrayal can be defended, it will be for the edification it provides, or the dignity of the conflict it resolves.
Notes on camp is for lack of a better word: camp. It tries to explain the unexplainable and put a tangible definition on something that is not meant to have one. Despite this, it is able to write on paper what camp means and all its variations.
Camp is art that proposes itself seriously, but cannot be taken altogether seriously because it is ‘too much
If stylists read this before the 2019 met gala maybe we wouldn’t have lost the plot of what fashion is.
The book is divided in two segments. The first is written in vignetes, explaining what camp is. The second is an essay about how art and thecnology are intertwined.
I really loved the essay. It puts into words how snobbery in art spaces needs to cease, but it also explains why art evolves. Why is contemporary art important and no less impressive than “old” art?
Art today is a new kind of instrument, an instrument for modifying consciousness and organizing new modes of sensibility. And the means for practicing art have been radically extended.
If you want a book to make you look like an intellectual and that focuses on art this is a read for you.
