love is a battlefield

bakersfield is like a bacteria, it spreads, everyone gets it, they know it sucks, but it sticks to them.
remark by my art classmate who treat me sandwich today.

what is art?
art doesn need to be pretty, as long as it carries the message that the artist wanna express. so what if you see photograph of masturbating, gay men having oral sex, naked kids, are they art?

We spend an hour watching the tape. Controversy. The politician said that is totally junk and it is a shame, and we shouldnt contaminate the public with it. then , he torn the book, page by page, pictures after pictures....I ache for the artist.I forgot his name, he speaks about his work with that innocent eyes of a playful little boy, he is gay, he wore a white shirt, black pants, hair touching jaw length, all bohemian style. the male model is posing naked, body lines, muscles defined and toned. He look into the camera with so much concentration that , i saw it in his eyes, that he does not merely see a naked body, he sees curves, he sees lines, he sees colors, he sees light, he sees art,and he sees eventually, himself.

They say what he produces is homoerotica, they say showing pictures of human genital is obsence. and isnt that jsut a body part? is that is obsence why God put it there? and you think pictures of two naked guys twisted against each other is disgusting? What if you show it to a gay guy who really really really LOVE men, he is gonna tell you taht,"this is the most beautiful picture i ve ever seen."
