resellers and art markets
fuck a reseller. im serious. I feel so strongly about this, I think resellers are kind of the scum of the earth. maybe thats too harsh im sure they’re okay people. but to be a reseller at an art market is just a low beyond low. and you kind of are too if you shop at them. yes im judgmental okay. but really only when I feel it is valid. a reseller at an art market. last weekend it was a beautiful day, me and my good friend decided to check out the art market my town was putting on. as I was perusing I came to the horrid realization that there was little art, there were almost entirely stands of resellers wearing bandanas and loose jeans. what they do is they go to thrift stores, select the best donated clothes, resell it for a high price and act like they did something. this is perhaps my wokest point but why can’t people who can’t afford cool clothes have it? this then causes the thrift stores themselves to raise their prices, fucking it for everyone else. a unique sense of selfishness, capitalistic bullshit. you’re essentially stealing it from them. buy it for yourself, buy it for a friend, buy it and give it to someone. why steal it and jack up the price? you are a landlord essentially. fuck you. and then the audacity to set it up at an art market. an art market. what you do is not art. what you do is not cool. you are not cool. if anything you are a poser. maybe im a poser for telling people what is cool and what is not, but I will die on this hill. if you buy from a reseller who bought the clothes from goodwill, you did not find a piece at an art market, you just supported their landlord bullshit. you are not cool, you are a sucker. you fell for it. this sounds way harsh but its just so lame. make something if you want to be at an art market, literally I dont care what as long as you made it yourself. pawning off other peoples work at an art market. fuck you. my friend said I needed to calm down about it so im telling you. I apologize for the aggression of my words, I am not always like this. I feel strongly okay?
