Crazy Fools - Contemporary Modern Art
In 1917 Marcel Duchamp under the alias of R Mutt, tried and failed to hang a
urinal on a wall in a New York City Art Gallery. For nearly 100 years now, by
way of an apology and to prove that they actually get the joke, artists have
been raining piss in galleries everywhere, stretching plausibility, to a point
where little surprises and few care.
In the early eighties a bunch of hooded super heroes sitting under railway
arches on rain swept evenings, shaking cans and making enemies, were to sow the
seeds of change. There cause was not to intellectually stupefy. Their purpose
lay not in its explanation, but in its doing, and its intention was to strike
you between the eyes and leave its calling card.
Crazy Fools gallery celebrates these good people and embraces all which they
have spawned, from modern contemporary, to happy go lucky. Ever since its
inception, art aficionados have referred to this urban art movement as a bubble,
inferring it is perilously close to bursting. Just as those in the music
business once referred to rock and roll as a phase. Both share the same vision
and working class roots, and neither fear flipping the odd finger or two in the
general direction of the powers that be.
