John Waters Is Now An “Artiste”
Or should I say an “artista,” because one of my favorite humans is going to be part of the very chic Biennale in Venice this year. His Biennale work was created in 2007, and consists of a group of five red, white and blue plywood signs. Each exhorts viewers to “Study Art” for amusingly tongue-in-cheek reasons: “for fun or fame”; “for profit or hobby”; “for breeding or bounty”; “for pride or power”; and, finally, “for prestige or spite.”
