The Fine Arts
Emily Vey Duke, Cooper Battersby, 2002, CA, video, 4'

Vey Duke and Battersby mock their own lack of inspiration: a woman confesses that she’s speaking French in the nude because she has no good ideas, but then admits that her solution is unoriginal. “I hate the fine arts, I am disgusted by the fine arts, because, um, the fine arts are always made with artifice.”
