#art, What a Scam! Invisible Sculptures!

(Salvatore Garau/Photo Instagram @Salvatore_garau)

Yes, here he sits possibly next to his sculpture «Io sono» (I am) that sold for 15.000 euros! This Italian «conceptual artist» claims that he sculpts in areas of air that are filled with energy. And of course, like most conceptual artists his work are described by strange and convoluted explanations. In his case he affirms that he has sold a vacuum filled with energy and a series of other stupidities that I will not repeat. What I do think is that this is another «artistic» way of laundering money. I don’t know for sure, but it does make one think and also wonder who was the one…or ones…who purchased this «immaterial» sculpture. Yet, in light of so many things that I have seen that pass as «art» it is not surprising that somebody…a talent-less artist…came up with the ingenious idea of selling invisible sculptures.

And should you want to know more about Signore Salvatore Garau, I would suggest that you google him because I will not waste another word on him.

    In that case, a nasty farter can claim to be a gas artist. Usually you can at least smell the farts. The invisible statue has a greater stink to it.

    Trump hasn’t even thought of selling invisible stuff yet… except for all his promises.

    Le gusta a 3 personas

    1. True, but the problem is that his real promises are so very wrong, dangerous and detrimental to US democracy!

        Yes, I started to say he won’t keep his promises, but he will keep his threats. We’re down to crunch time with the election and somehow NC is still evenly split, if the polls can be believed. I learned in 2016 not to put any faith in the polls. If the polls had been correct, Trump would have lost. Of course, he only won the Electoral College — which needs to be abolished.

      2. Definitely the electoral college has to be abolished!

    I love it .. this is something that most people wouldn’t have the courage to do, it appears to be a scam, but like the «comedian» the taped banana on the wall … this is one-of-a-kind .. made purposely to attract confusion and surprise .. just like the old master at there time

    1. Thank you. I appreciate your visit, your time and your reply. All the best. Scams like these have been pulled off as «art» with a lot of explanations and narratives. When you have to explain so much you really do not have a lot of art there. In the 70’s there was also a «composer» who created silent symphonies. It is nothing new… But we must keep the conversation alive about art, everywhere, even if it is about ridiculous «sculptures» such as invisible ones. I reckon he would not want to be paid with invisible money. 😊
