Stoked Americans

Some young artists (who are going to hopefully kick Jeff Koon's and Hirst's diamond covered ass) talk about their work backed by some nice zoned out tunes. I like how they bothered to do this in addition to the show. I also like how the whole tone of the video reflects what the youth as a collective consciousness feel about society today.

In May 2009 Gallery Crawl interviewed five graduate students receiving Masters of Fine Arts degrees from Mills College in Oakland, California. All experiment with multiple mediums including sculpture, drawing, fiber arts, painting, and new media. In their thesis exhibition, collectively titled Young Americans, each student presented a body of work completed during the two-year MFA program.

I think more artists need to explain a little more and stop conveniently using the "open to your interpretation" excuse.
