I like Bob and Roberta Smiths approach to art, and especially after starting at an art school and toiling away and getting caught up in projects, it is nice to be reminded that all art is useless. I like the way he can be brutally honest and not faff around with arty bullshit. He seems to understand that art is just art and nothing more, and he is honest about artists.
"All artist are astronauts flying spaceships fuelled by self-importance."
it is from this cynical stance that smith chooses to make art work projecting his views and though in a mock activist way. I like the way he seems to be trying to change the world, safe in the knowledge that he hasn't got a chance and might as well not bother.
