Art Joke Bumper Sticker Contest
OK, so the bar was set pretty darn high with Oriane's gift on yesterday's thread:
Today, let's have the submissions...we'll vote tomorrow.
those who can do. those who can't duchamp.
but per request, let's see what other zingers you've got in your repetoires. My new fave is an actual bumper sticker that's been around for a while (circa 1977) but I only saw recently at the Art Institute:
If you like conceptual art think about honking.Winner will be offered a toast with this exquisite Kyrgyz cognac we brought back and keep in the gallery (so long as you stop in to visit and collect...we can't mail it). If you don't like Kyrgyz cognac (and how would anyone know, eh?) we'll come up with another prize (a mailable one for those not in NYC).
Today, let's have the submissions...we'll vote tomorrow.

The words 'retard' in white letters within a red-colored field bumper sticker.
art is not what you think
I paid $92,000 to Yale and all I got was a lousy solo show in Chelsea?!?
or the ever popular
My parents paid $92,000 to Yale and all I got was a lousy solo show in Chelsea?!?
My favorite, seen in the wild in Boston in the mid-nineties, was a play on "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty." Someone had taken a bumper sticker with that text and had cut it up and assembled it ransom-note-style to read:
Act kind of random and practice beauty sense.
This was a actually a graffito I saw in San Francisco years ago, not a bumper sticker, and not art-related, but it's still good.
first a little background: there was a phrase going around, mocking and reversing the original, that went: "reality is just a crutch for people who can't handle drugs".
I don't know if this was a typo or not, but on the wall of the bathroom of The Stud (long lost gay bar) i saw:
realty is just a crutch for people can't handle drugs.

In the 70's, potter extraordinaire and Juniata College arts prof, Jack Troy, used to drive a VW van with a bumper sticker that said "The Gogh Van".
that reminds me of the van that would take people across the UC Berkeley campus to the subway (BART, or bay area rapid transit) called Humphrey GoBART. I think there was also a Van Go.
"Don't blame me I voted for zombie Joseph Beuys" That one is currently on my car. It's made by Cat & Girl, an internet comic. They also make others that read, "My other car is a Pynchon novel" and "Future corpses of America." These are so baffling, I love 'em.
I'm gonna go yoko:
"Imagine art"
"this could be your art"
The Marfa bookstore has some great Judd bumper stickers including "WWDJD?", but my favorite is their takeoff on the I (heart) NY sticker - http://store1.yimg.com/I/marfabkco_1851_6693115
Not technically a bumper sticker, but along the same lines (and, hey, it's Valentine's Day) is Patrick Welch's ode to Matthew Barney - http://www.cremasterfanatic.com/Art/Art%20Tumbnails/t043.jpg
those judd ones are pretty good.
which reminds me I also like
Who Would Jesus Bomb?
although not art related

Feelin meta right now:
"I won an art blog joke bumper sticker contest and all i got was this lousy bumper sticker!"
bumper sticker:
my other car is a warhol
wow.
how dumb is that?
would look good on a real beater though.
I always liked:
Expose yourself to art (with the trench coat open).
But I'm working on a political one:
The next hot investment: gill technology.
Ceci n'est pas une voiture
Take Something.
Crash Something Into It.
Crash Something Into It Again.

After "I'd rather be fishing"
"I'd rather be famous"
or how about a blank bumper sticker to denote how cool I am i don't even have a sign
After the "reality is for those who cant handle drugs"
art is for those whose drugs stopped working
art is for those who cant handle reality

Richard Serra, Mark DiSuvero, and the ghost of David smith walk into a bar.
Just then, Richard Serra turns to the ghost of David Smith and says, "are you going to let him talk to you like that?"
