stuart semple watercolour set 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Relapsing (watching tyler catastrophe controversy videos) and still highkey grouchy about a stupidass art controversy from 10 years ago. Stuart semple is a little bitch and anish kapoor did nothing wrong. The art community had a responsibility to look at the situation objectively and debate WIDESPREAD corporate and legal practices with nuance, but tumblrinas just reduced it to "no one should own a color" and acted out like this was a team edward/team jacob fandom debate and not a needlessly overblown statement against a real guy who was smug about being sold the rights to a paint FOR AIRPLANES. By a COMPANY that refused to distribute the paint because they didn't want to manage customer service and safety regulation adherence and shit. What, was anish fucking kapoor supposed to take on all the distribution responsibility an entire fucking corporation wouldn't?? Was he REALLY such a greedy sick fuck for not letting anyone else buy aerospace industry grade MATERIAL (NOT an art supply!!!!) That has no practical civillian artist application irl? Was this even that big of a fucking deal?? I'm not saying there's nothing WRONG with "owning a color" or whatever, but I am saying kapoor's actions were... morally neutral in the context of the art community. The rights of vantablack aren't really relevant to civillian artists.
jake novak (i wanna be the next snl cast member guy) and tyler catastrophe (unemployment final boss who was hit by a lexus guy) would make the most insane white male purgatory situationship
By wearing this watch you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor
The Fence has published an exposé on Stuart Semple (of Anish Kapoor 'feud' notoriety) which they have been working on for six months.
investigation reveals Semple / his studio / his partner Emily Mann (who's described as acting as his 'enforcer' in his business) :
mishandled £400k grant of public money intended for a public gallery, allowing the money to flow freely between the public project, his own personal studio and personal projects such as Culture Hustle (his online business selling paint etc)
underpaid or failed to pay many of his assistants to the tune of several thousand pounds each.
former assistants have taken him to court and he simply hasn't bothered to show up and he's threatened to sue former assistants who asked for their back pay
repeatedly funds ambitious projects that never see release eg Abode, an 'Adobe-rivalling' suite of creative software (he claims he still intends to release this)
encouraged a cult-like atmosphere at his studio in Bournemouth
was frequently in debt and having to negotiate with bailiffs etc for his debts while at the same time crowdfunding various projects
ran fake social media accounts boosting Semple and his work
The portrait that emerges is one of decades-long scam artistry tbh and someone who's juvenile, manipulative, narcissistic.
The Fence btw is a decent fairly small-circulation quarterly magazine from the UK which specialises in satire, investigative journalism, culture, and fiction. You can read the piece in its entirety if you register (which is free).
a few links:
The Fence's newsletter from April discusses this article & how Semple has tried to muddy the SEO waters
Semple threatened to sue The Fence for publishing this story - many of you are American so here's the relevant UK law on defamation.
& the subreddit r/culturehustle is worth a look to get an idea of just how badly run his paint business is

Y'all remember Stuart Semple? Well, he's taking issue with the Pantone color of the year (let's be real, it's been painfully drab lately) and inviting the people to vote on what the next color should be. It will be called Visceral Uprising, but we get to decide what that color actually is. The above is mine! Feel free to take part here.
Apparently he did this last year and below is what was chosen:
