The “Art is Dead” meme presents: Art is Dead: An Online/Facebook Art Gallery (to promote “local” “artists”)

We already have a headache from just reading that title.

I mean, oh, hello!  And welcome to another installment of the Museum’s Art is Dead meme, showcasing how although art is obviously very alive and well (is it?), art might actually be dead.

Today we showcase a Facebook Page called, (not-)appropriately, Art is Dead that is looking to help the “artist” community of Eugene, Oregon.

Their Facebook Page description reads:

The Art is Dead Gallery was created to help promote all local artist in the area. Our vision is to bring back art and creativity to the community. The Art is Dead Gallery was created by our featured artist Richard Ryan Azar. Original art has become an endangered species, our plan is to flood the streets with quality inspirational art. If you are interested in purchasing any of our featured art or looking to become a featured artist on our page please contact us via email: ryanazar@hotmail.com, or lane55tank@yahoo.com. phone 541-852-5499

Is a Facebook Page Art Gallery an effective way of “flooding the streets with quality… art” because it uses the POWER OF SOCIAL NETWORKING (RAWWWRRR!!!) to increase awareness and understanding for the objectives of this local artist community trying to ‘make a difference’?

Or does this just add even more suck to the art community’s already overwhelming amount of suck?

Bonus question: Do you like art?

2nd bonus question: On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you think the Artifacts of Modernity Online Museum also contributes to this ‘global suck’ we described above?
