Intergalactic Summit

Final year art students at the University of Caille School of Art regularly come up with a wide variety of artworks, some traditional, some modern. One thing they have in common is that they are almost always controversial.

A sculpture piece by one student, giving her name as "Yvitte" has provoked a strong reaction from both the public and critics.

The artwork, titled "Disappointment 1, the sigh of the common people" consists of an empty plinth.

"I was looking at the artworks at the exhibition, and there was this one called "disappointment" and there was nothing there." said one exotic dance student.
"It was so disappointing", said her friend, another exotic dance student.
"That's the point, isn't it? It's one of those pretentious 'meta-art' things?", said a third exotic dance student.
"Art students are all pretentious", said a fourth exotic dance student.

"This is a marvellous piece of meta-art" said one critic. "The artist will surely go on to great heights in meta-art sculpture"
"The disappointment of the common people is palpable", said another critic. "You can see the look in their eyes when they interact with the piece. It's fabulous"

"This is racist, and an insult to immigrant citizens", said a political campaigner. "Hard working families come to the Federation to benefit from our superior culture, and this is how they are treated? Outrageous"

Causing further controversy, was the artworks companion piece, titled "Disappointment 2, the rage of the critic", consisting of a nude figure of a gallente woman, tearing an art critic magazine in half. The piece is interactive, as when the viewer approaches it, a drone asks the viewer which art review magazine is their favourite, the answer causes the piece to morph, altering the title of the magazine that the figure is tearing in half.

"Ha, that'll show those critics with their 'meta art' nonsense", said an exotic dance student
"Umm, why are statues always like, nude?", said another. "That's like, our thing"
"I think it's a self-portrait", said a third exotic dance student.

"This is an outrage!" said an art critic. "I chose my own publication, naturally, and this is how I am treated?"

The artist Yvitte had this to say "The art speaks for itself"

Art.

Gutter Press, bringing you cultural news from across the universe.

This is SO inappropriate, that I have only one thing left to say:

This is why the Federation must be destroyed.

The third piece that the Gallente art student made for the exhibit was a Gutter Press IGS article?

Sorry :)

I think they said in a recent article that exotic dancers are generally a lot more forthcoming with opinions than other citizens.

I don't think you can make the Federation look any more decadent than it is usually portrayed in non-Gallente propaganda.

Woe to all who produce incomprehensible abstract art! For they shall stand before God at the Judgement where shall be demanded of them an explanation of their artwork in minute detail with emphasis on how the artwork glorifies God. And when it be judged that the incomprehensible abstract art does not glorify God, the artists shall be consigned to the Pit where for all eternity they shall be forced to produce non-abstract, realist art at the direction of the Demons, Demons who shall brutally punish them for the slightest error in form, dimension, or color. And God will be glorified in the punishment. Amen. Amarr Victor.

I don't suppose any of the exotic dance students interviewed might be looking for internships? Must be able to interact well with cats and dogs!

To quote someone: "Down with this sort of thing"

Well, I thought it was clever and funny.

I'm laughing at the implied correlation between going to art school and ending up an exotic dancer.

Because it's true.

Ok even though that was a note to self, i tried that because i was bored

But i was out of salt so i used Glass dust

Was out of lemon juice so i used acid



Best night of my life!
