Faster Please: Dead at 27 but his art will live on for at least 3 weeks....

"Discontent also permeated the work, and friends said his series of ejaculate-spattered newspaper clippings reporting police brutality illustrated the artist’s deep distaste for the world around him." -- The Life and Death of Dash Snow

Posted by Vanderleun at March 25, 2010 1:09 AM. This is an entry on the sideblog of American Digest: Check it out.

Your Say

"But people like Peres Projects owner Javier Peres see the artist’s reputation for partying as a common misconception. “He comes from a complicated history,” Peres told New York Magazine. “As a result, he dealt with his life as best he could. And fought to survive as long as he could. The things he did to cope with the strain of his own life were often misunderstood as partying.”

Oh shut the fuck up!

It's an amazing article, isn't it?

The world is a better place without scumbag Dash Snow in it. When he died, the collective IQ of the world increased. Funny, after reading that article, I am glad he died. John Donne was wrong that every man's death diminishes me. Dash Snow's death diminishes me not one whit....In fact, he is probably the best exhibit for abortion that I can think of...

Try Googling "Dash Snow" -- this guy was a museum-grade degenerate. (And didja know his aunt was Uma Thurman?)

More navel-gazing by self absorbed urban hipster types.

Did he actually do one concrete thing to make the world a better place?

No. He just whined about it.

Nobody will remember him and that's probably a good thing.

These people age going to be so surprised when Civil War II and Great Depression II hit at the same time.

I need to invest in popcorn futures.

"are" not "age". But you get my drift.

Gee, another tormented rich kid, wallowing (but not too deeply) in angst:

"A New York Times article commented that Snow 'met a junkie’s end but did so in a $325-a-night hotel room with an antique marble hearth.' "

Why is it after I read the article I just didn't seem to care?

More of them, please.
And faster.

Late-term abortion...Urban hipster style.

Now if the Department of Malthusian Darwinization could just get their act together and program their RU486 Heroin Gauss Modulators to acquire targets more efficiently we'd have that population bomb problem whipped in no time.

The Bureau of Chemical Spirituality also really needs to step up their game lowing the LD50 of their mood enhancers.

Efficiency people!

As an art student in NYC I was surrounded by these douchebags for years.They offer NOTHING to the world. Nothing. Seriously, NOTHING.
They will be missed only by others who offer NOTHING.
Dash Snow was a useless, ignorant, slacker drug addicted moron who carried around a camera. He took shitty pictures that rise to the level of competence only rivaled by an automated security camera that happens to be pointing at people who are a drain on civilized society.
There was nothing special about this ass. Hand out polaroid cameras at the methadone clinic and you'll have a legion of Van Goghs wandering aimlessly around making art. The true genius's will be the ones who have the discipline to actually find the shutter button and not hock the camera for more drugs.
Good riddance.
