The Symbol Formerly Known As Guy

Wednesday, June 06, 2007

Thanks to Matt Hindley, for the heads up on this. In a Sunday Times article, Sean O'Toole, editor extraordinaire and short story writer, says that Guy Tillim, along with Moshekwa Langa and Wim Botha, are the sexiest artists, while commenting on a recent portrait of him by Deborah Poynton. Says Matt: "No mention of the devastatingly handsome Robert Sloon..." Oh well, better luck next time. But where are the sexy female artists?

Perhaps Marquis O'Toole has a thing for bald men.

This kind of thing makes me want to emigrate to another planet. That painting is the most depressing thing I've seen in ages, and the horrible expression on his face is like an attempt at dignity of a wife-beating Baptist bigot. Sis. What the fuck is going on in Sean O'toole's head. Really. Contrary to popular opinion I think artheat is the only publication with any fuckin taste.

Dear Guy, a man-babe in the arena of taste you clearly are not. You look about as sexy as frozen chicken

Hi I am a UCT psychology student and we are doing some research on the damaging effects of Michaelis Art School on the psyche of students, would you mind posting some responses to the following questions? Obviously its all anonymous. Thanks!
1. Did you have friends at school?
2. If not, why not?
3. Do you think your bitterness stems from previous social isolation?
4. Or have you always been a cunt?
5. What informs your conviction that you are interesting?
6. How do you justify making zero contribution to the society in which you live?
7. Can you name five African countries?
8. Where do you see yourselves in five years time? (Cry if you want to, its ok)
9. Before attending Michaelis did you ever read the newspaper (not the arts paragraphs)?
10. How many inapropriately intimate relationships did you have with your lecturers/tutors at art school?
11. Have you ever gone for group STD testing with your classmates?
12. How much money would it take to persuade you to emigrate permanently?
