"This is a first draft, I’ll be working more on this list, then publish it as a complete guide to contemporary art new cliches. Maybe.
In the meantime, feel free to add yours!
"1. people covered up in paint
"2. minimal concrete sculptures
"3. upside down stuff
"4. miniaturized stuff
"5. sliced stuff
"6. neon light written stuff (especially literary quotes) (((Aw cmon, that's the only way that novelists ever get a word in)))
"7. works unveiling art system’s contradictions
"8. underwater stuff
"9. invisible works of art
"10. all kinds of pranks (you’re not funny) (((rest easy, yes, you are funny as long as you're not assaulting Ai Weiwei)))
"update: here are some interesting addictions that popped up in my facebook profile:
11. skulls or other “cool” objects covered in diamonds (Manolo Remiddi) (((Aw come on, be fair)))
12. all videostuff with “talking heads” (Aristarkh Chernyshev)
13. performance art involving nude bodies (Alexei Shulgin)
(((I'm coming in late here, but let me suggest number 14: electronic-art installations with snarled, kinky, foot-snagging wiring.)))
