<edit> I still enjoy my Milli Vanilli Cds. They only cost me $10 USD. I doubt I can re-sale them for much more than a buck.

The Connor Brothers π¬π§ Mike Snelle & James Golding, by Deleted on Oct 11, 2014 18:48:12 GMT 1, A crying shame that Mike Snelle is one of the people behind this, his work with Swoon and her various charity projects was admirable. I spoke to him about it and it sounded like he'd been truly "saved" and had finally found real purpose in life. He's a genuinely interesting and intelligent guy, but this, this is a huge fuck up of the highest order.

The Connor Brothers π¬π§ Mike Snelle & James Golding, by jusdeep on Oct 11, 2014 19:00:02 GMT 1, Never been morals with these guys. Not sure how to take this either, or how I would react if I had invested in a piece by them/bought into the whole story. Can't say I relate or like their work if I am honest. For me the humour is very occasionally spot on, but it in majority falls a little flat.
The main problem I have with these guys is their tactical and underhand manipulation of markets since the word go. I won't even go there with their previous ventures, bidding up auctions and various other shady practices. I'm not saying they are the only people who adopt these methods as we all know it goes on, but what at first might seem like a very clever idea just turns into some sick social experiment for their own amusement and monetary gain. Sod the sob story in the article, everyone goes through tough times but the majority of people have morals. It just goes to show again how underhand and manipulative these guys really are.

The Connor Brothers π¬π§ Mike Snelle & James Golding, by delano on Oct 11, 2014 19:14:04 GMT 1, CONnor Brothers, the name says it all really. Oh, how they must have laughed & high fives each other when they settled on that moniker.
But this whole episode does raise another question - when is an artist actually an artist?
In the first instance you have the Connor Brother clowns. They created a devious back story about the so called artists, & then came up with the ideas for the pieces for others to paint. So, what is their role - are they art directors, creative directors or artists?
You then have the likes of Mr Brainwash & his ilk. Again, these guys come up with ideas for others to paint. So, apart from the fake back story, how do they differ from the above?
There are then the high profile "street artists" who get people like Colossal Media to paint walls on their behalf. Maybe they don't want to get their hands dirty, maybe they no longer want to paint on illegal spaces. But as these artists are not painting the pieces, then are they not themselves undermining their own work.
& finally turning the whole thing on its head - what about when artists are painting the ideas of others. So, in this instance, they are producing the work, but the idea/ concept for the piece is not theirs. But as the artist, they take the credit.
I think I may just go back to collecting sneakers...

... mental illness is one of last taboos to be spoken about (cliche phrase I know) - it affects the person, the ones they love and who love them, their families and people all around them ...
I have read some bullsh!t in my time but this just takes the p!ss ...
'It went on to describe how Snelle, who had suffered from suicidal feelings all his life, and Golding, a former heroin addict, had begun to work together as a form of therapy, inventing the identity of the Connor Brothers as a cloak to cover the βshameβ that both felt about their lives, and to protect themselves from the discomfort of public exposure.'
... while I accept that these two people have had their troubles that is NOT an excuse for their actions.
... and now they have set up the 'Peggy Irving Foundation' to help:
'artists whom the foundation has encountered by chance, and whose work we believe our namesake - Peggy Irving - would have appreciated.'
I wonder how many poor mugs they are going to get to 'contribute' to their 'Foundation' and cause while they 'administer' it. (Peggy Irving is a fictional character as well as all of the Board Members listed on the PIF website)

People in creative fields often use pseudonyms or make up back stories.
I'm a big fan of a band called Goat, whose biography is as follows:
"Goat are a collective of musicians who hail from a small and very remote village called Korpolombolo in deepest darkest Sweden.
Legend has it that for centuries, the inhabitants of the village of Korpolombolo were dedicated to the worship and practices of Voodoo. This strange and seemingly unlikely activity was apparently introduced into the area after a travelling witch doctor and a handful of her disciples were led to Korpolombolo by following a cipher hidden within their most sacred of ancient scriptures.
The reason it led them there is unknown, but their Voodoo influence quickly took hold over the whole village and so they made it their home - there, they were able to practice their craft unnoticed and unbothered for several centuries.
This was until their non-Christian ways were discovered by the Church and they were burned out by the crusaders, the survivors cursing the village over their shoulders as they fled.
To this day, the now picturesque village of Korpolombolo is still haunted by this Voodoo curse; the power of the curse can be felt throughout the grooves of this Goat record. "
Obviously this is bollocks, but it makes them more interesting & allows them to act out a persona that differs from reality... which frankly might be rather dull.

This Nothing wrong with creating under pseudonyms, Mark Twain is a pseudonym but Goat dont hire other musicians to play their music, you could make the Warhol/ Hirst comparison but they had both served their time and proved themselves and were capable of doing their own work, they also play dumb to understanding how the art market can be manipulated by fabricating a story like they dont know how buying client will be swayed by an artists story when they obviously do, it all feels off to me personally |

Be interesting to see if past debts are paid with their new found "fame" & "Fortune".
Guess everyone deserves a second chance and if they can get through life making a bit of art along the way! Good luck to them.

Serious question - do people buy art more for the image, or the backstory? No set answer on that one fed, too many different types of people and reasons for buying art, i find an artists story/history of where they came from/Journey to prominence really interesting in itself, i find people interesting in general everyone has a story to tell, the story for me is part of the art, take mr B , i think his story is as interesting as his art, its a package, the 2 go hand in hand. Take the connor bros, their so called actual life story is far more interesting than the concocted escaped from a cult story, problem with them is there is no trust in them as people, what is the truth, the newspaper interview seems manufactured, sugar coated and the art also feels manufactured off the back of it. |

The Connor Brothers π¬π§ Mike Snelle & James Golding, by mojo on Oct 12, 2014 10:32:32 GMT 1, This is particularly awful ...... I wonder how long the disclaimer has been there?
link
The sad truth is the world has many exceptionally talented artists that will never get any form of recognition. This whole scam just makes a mockery out of real people that actually contribute, regardless of being an artist, collector, philanthropist, gallery owner or the like. It smacks of the self satisfied, self important, back slapping over confidence that was once so prevalent within an old art establishment that Banksy and POW were so instrumental in changing for the better by opening up the art world to the masses.
Even the deluded ramblings about Peggy Irving are based on stereotypical nostalgic nonsense and are very badly written.
First time I saw the Conner Brothers pictures I instantly thought they were a very poor rip off of an idea already made popular by the very talented (and real) Harland Miller.
This is particularly awful ...... I wonder how long the disclaimer has been there? linkThe sad truth is the world has many exceptionally talented artists that will never get any form of recognition. This whole scam just makes a mockery out of real people that actually contribute, regardless of being an artist, collector, philanthropist, gallery owner or the like. It smacks of the self satisfied, self important, back slapping over confidence that was once so prevalent within an old art establishment that Banksy and POW were so instrumental in changing for the better by opening up the art world to the masses. Even the deluded ramblings about Peggy Irving are based on stereotypical nostalgic nonsense and are very badly written.

I'm sure if they get tired of making them up, they could take some quotes from this thread.
