Why I Hate Found Object Art

In this video I heavily reference and discuss Eunsong Kim’s “The Politics of Collecting”, a book on critical art history and how legal notions of property become foundational to avant-garde and modern understandings of innovation in conceptual art and experimental poetry. This video title is reactionary on purpose! I don’t actually hate it I’m just offering a critique that Eunsong brings up that is quite relevant to today’s media culture/aesthetics.
