Cock Ring as Metaphor | |
Contemporary art is a cock ring on a giant erection pumped up by capitalism and keeping the masters of that game from cumming. I think they like it. I think the artists like it, too. They get to pretend to be profound. Some are. Most are hemorrhoids waiting to happen. The blood that pumps it all up is money. Green blood.

OUCH
Instead of an essay, why not a ‘rhoid sculpture with a green copper ring at the base?
Ferociously accurate and on point. Probably those pursuing many vocations and avocations would relate at least on some level.
Lordy of the Rings!
Perhaps the metaphor is that history repeats itself…or, much more locally, that one call to Angela leads to another and another and another.
