RE: Art - Damage
I don't consider it horrific or shocking. To me the shocking part is the different ways media told the story. I also wonder what happened to those teenagers talking him into this and of course why all of a sudden this became big news. 3000$ to fix this 🤔
I like to read your art damage review. Reviews about art and artists are welcome in this community.
I look forward to your post.
🤗♥️🍀
it wasnt exactly a review; it was a literary retelling of a true story happened, almost an anecdotic one - and I am not its author. I promise to make an English translation to introduce it to you and other Steemians who are obsessed with art. (It is a really gorgeous story!!)
Hmm.. so far I read only 3 news pieces, and I'd say they sound similar (cause internet today is highly about copy-paste, haha!) But the given detalization, indeed, differs.
These are details I found out from the most full news piece (published after the court proceedings). There were no teenagers (they are fictitious). This man told a lot of the bullshit in his defense:
-- some boys asked him to do it... but no one saw them;
-- there was a noisy crowd that day and he had a bad headache because of it;
-- he is a veteran of the Chechen war, and his head is damaged by shrapnel;
-- he does not work there on a permanent basis, but only replaced a permanent employee ...
-- and therefore was not properly instructed;
... and so on and so forth - all these are bullshit excuses that his lawyer came up with to mitigate the guilt of his client. This is very visible between the text lines. But the whole truth is that this man is an asshole! and with his act he clearly expressed his attitude to abstract and avant-garde art.
For me, the most terrifying part was not even his act , no. It was the consequences ... the difficult path, the handicap with obstacles, which the interested parties were forced to take in order to bring him to trial. The local authorities and the police were not interested at all in finding the criminal and carrying their direct duties. Bullshit! Only when the Russian capital's Ministry of Culture (!) directly wrote a complaint to the Main Prosecutor's Office about the inaction of the local police, demanding the case to be reclassified as "damage to the cultural heritage" - only after that the rusty wheels of justice slowly began to creak... This was the most offensive thing for me. Maybe now you understand better how the law works in Russia (doesn't work at all... almost).
The law eveywhere works like that. No one cares about architecture set at fire. Where is the news about the Nitre Dame set at fire? Never heard anything about the investigations it's all. Swept underneath the carpet.
Concussion is what I read so when was that? Hiswife reminded me of the doctor I once sued. He did not show up as I was in labour with 6 months... All sort of excuses he arrived late drunk. His wife tried to help him and said: Itold him after x time "wake up you should have left long ago" and she added to it that he fell asleep again.
😐
How s... can one be?
I hoped you would write a review on the article you read or the occasion.
