Aaron Curry at Michael Werner

Sometimes you see something so awful words lack and dismay suspends time to second guess yourself. But these are just the worst. Unbelievable ugly. Appropriated high school noodling made irrepressible paintings. So bad they look from the future. It’s like you thought it couldn’t get any worse, but then it did. All of primitivist colonialism in teenage-bedroom’s unthought posters. It’s like being cybernetically plugged into a powerful video game and then cerebrally taken against your will. Curry’s penchant for theft finally stealing from people without recourse, teenage boys, Giger, all the lowest, brandished in neon green, Curry stealing candy from the helpless masses not consecrated as art.
