Too Much is Too Much or An Ecology of Spectacle GIFT TO THE CITY IV Jillian Raleigh _______________________________ Obviously a museum is very structured… a beast that has these layers and this hierarchy that you have to work with, but also because… it’s not necessarily about the consumption. Although obviously we are consuming. We’re taking the information in and we’re, you know, engaging with it, you know, we’re buying the entry ticket to the museum, whatever. -
Libby Sellers, Commercial Gallerist, London.
The Cultural Omnivore dwells in the hyperreality of the Image. The Cultural Omnivore consumes all Art in its path, indiscriminately and conspicuously. Tweets and Hashtags contaminate the ether, symptoms of freshly accumulated Cultural Capital that feed the monumentally bureaucratic Art Beast. Omnivore and Beast exist in a glorious symbiosis of Cultural Commodity; an Ecology of Spectacle. The Art Beast is a conglomeration of museums and galleries, colonised by the Culture Bureau. Art is rationalised and processed by the Bureau proletariat, in preparation for consumption and regurgitation and reconsumption. Archetypal hierarchy, the Culture Bureau is controlled by the Supreme Curator, clandestine sovereign of the Ecology. And yet the true potentate of this hyperreality is Art as Image.

Weaving together threads from the works of Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard, Too Much is Too Much speculates on the existence of a heterotopia in which the triumph of the transaesthetic is complete. #toomuchisactuallynotenough #TLDR #artconspiracy #instaporn #hetertopia #bureaucraticcollectivism #imnotbitter #seriouslyimjusttired _______________________________ Foucault, M. “Of Other Spaces.” In Rethinking Architecture: A Reader in Cultural Theory, edited by N.
