Your name is Sebastian Giovanni, and you are a 27 year old artist. You have an associate's degree in art theory, and live in your studio in Melbourne.

Right now you are enjoying a nice hot coffee, while you work on your novel. It's about a young man living in the city, trying to make his way through everyday life, working on his art, while being surrounded by uncultured philistines, who don't understand him.

Speaking of uncultured philistines, it's approaching lunch time, and the cafe is becoming crowded, so you had better go back to your studio before they ruin your peace of mind.

Ok, you're back at your studio. Your room-mate, Jessica, is not home from work for a few hours, so you have a while to work on some art projects before she gets home and asks you to stop. Unfortunately she also hasn't brought you the green tea you asked for. Not like she'd get the right sort anyway, 'cause she's a basic ass.

You don't really know how to paint or draw that well, but you think the art is more about how you feel. You need to decide what medium you are going to use to make your new artwork. If it's good enough, you might be able to sell it on Etsy and make enough to pay rent this fortnight.

Expect inconsistent artstyle btw

Draw something sloppily erotic in 50 shades of grey paint.

Paint military representatives from as many imperialist and colonialist empires as you can think of playing poker with their ill-gotten wealth.

Or overturn a trashcan and call it sculpture.

You don't have 50 shades of grey paint, but you have one shade of grey shit you found in the cabinet under the kitchen sink.

You paint something, hm, vaguely erotic with it. Unfortunately it runs and drips on the carpet. Shit. You consider photographing the mess on the carpet as an artwork in and of itself, but you don't know where Jessica's camera is.

While you feel the small expression of sexuality is cathartic, not as much as the time you suspended your semen in resin cubes and sold them as necklaces on Etsy for $120

Rubbish sculpture sounds like a great idea! Who would have thought someone like you could express yourself with smelly refuse?

DAMN IT! That idiot Jessica must have taken out the rubbish this morning before work, while you were still in bed. Stupid Jessica. You will need to go find garbage somewhere else, because there's not much here at home.

The ultimate art piece would be to rent an empty room, charge $50 for admission, and call it the "Empty Promises of Capitalism."

Trust me, you will score BIG points in the art snot community, and you'll rake in the cash on the side.

Go to a dump. You don't want to get in trouble for going through random people's trash. Again.

That's an excellent idea. It would be even better if you took a big shit in the middle of the room, to further represent how "shit" their outlook of life is. Truly, you are an artistic genius.

You go to the dump. Perfect! A great source for artistic material, just waiting to be shaped to your vision.

WAT? No scavenging? That's ridiculous! Not like anyone is using it, and you need it! There has to be a way to get it.

Cross out the "No" So it just reads "Scavenging". Then go to town.

Maybe make it so that every visitor has to take a shit there as well. You know, audience participation and stuff.

Great idea! You take a mental note of it, for when you begin this project later on.

>>676158

You alter the sign, so that it in fact encourages scavenging of the rubbish. Perfect!

You pick up a bucket and start filling with whatever kind of garbage catches your eye. You get a nice collection, you think this will work out well.


>"Oi, 'scuse me m8."


There is a man wearing a fluoro vest running over to you.

Inform him of the sign saying otherwise. Then when he looks at the sign, sprint away.

He's obviously a fellow artist. Dump the trashcan on his head as an ironic poststructuralist gesture signifying the importance of critique in the modern art world.

You put on a convincing French accent (since you studied it for a semester in high school, you're practically fluent).

"I'm sorry, but I am dissatisfied with ze qualitie of ze domp site hiere ! I am taking my garbage elsewair !"

The man looks confused.

>"Urhm, well alright then?"

You take this opportunity to escape with the valuables. Ha! Joke's on you, council! This garbage is yours, and no daft worker or misleading sign will get in your way!

You get home with the garbage.

Since you have other projects going on in your room, you temporarily dump the rubbish on Jessica's bed. A fitting place, really considering that it's used to holding Jessica, and the trashy, uncultured men she brings home on Friday nights.

The garbage smells really bad, and it's leaking some gross liquid onto the sheets. Luckily you didn't put it on your own bed after all. Ew!

Now you need to decide what you're going to do with it.

Is lighting it on fire too passé? Art, like life, is so fragile and impermanent, after all.

The garbage needs time to fester before your creation can begin. Go reward yourself with some goat cheese for your diligent work in the meantime

Do with it? That looks done to me. Put the bed up on etsy. Jessica can sleep on the floor like the dog she is.

You know what go ahead and take a shit on the bed and call it "A Culture of Plenty."
