Good Ideas happen to good people.

So - I just was talking to a friend of mine and he was arguing against Damien Hirst's piece. First of all, this is an old argument, why are we still having it? We are in a depression and new art is happening - why are we still talking about the diamond skull? Anyway, we are lamenting economic issues and I thought of a funny idea - if you are going to complain about Hirst's piece (and I still think it was super smart) than subvert it on it's own grounds - be a smarty pants and do something funny like "corner the diamond market" That way the genius it rests on, that it can't be under valued because of some sort of "Essential" value, is subverted since diamonds are not necessarily, inherently of value. Then you have a piece that is as genius as Hirst's but with the opposite conscience. Even more genius. If Damien did it, like undoing every wrong that any academic ever accused him of doing. amazing.
