R.E. Brown: the Sniveling Goat

About Me

I light candles to my holy trinity, Marcel Duchamp, Iggy Pop & William Burroughs. Father, Son, Holy Ghost. I pray to Johnny Rotten (Or Malcolm McClaren, whoever you believe) I pray to Andy Warhol (Or Andy Koffman, whoever you believe) I flog myself in the name of Arturo the Aqua Boy because in the end, nothing is ever enough. I make compulisve obsessive art. http//www.thesnivelinggoat.com I hate evil monkeys.

I'd like to meet:

Every person who ever lived. I want to see them, hear them, taste them. You see, I bless the reality underneath. Every day is a party with the material at hand. Dancing vagrants, inbred fruit venders, cell phone thespians. These are my favorite things and they are here. Right here. Angry traffic cops, old trannies in the daylight, body fat, incense, horseradish, middle-aged whores. These are my favorite things and they are right here. Nothing is ugly when you only have one life and I ask you who has two? They say everything is fascinating to a child, little animals that have no shame. Why do you? Smell that city heat garbage rot? Taste that ice cream? Those moments are real and meant for you. Hurdy gurdys, sharp cheese, broken hearts, road kill, pigeon shit, dark beer. These are my favorite things and they are right here.

I do not make art for inner peace or for the exploration of self. I create for legacy and forced dialog, for my own narcissistic imperialism. I create to conquer and challenge.

I have chosen the least respected of mediums because with respect comes acceptance. Acceptance means absorption into society. Absorption into society means mediocrity. Mediocrity means failure. I believe we are at a cross roads in art history. There are no possible break throughs left in the old ways. Academic institutions are filled with fear and rules. Galleries are filled with masturbation and boredom. What is life without a challenge?

Non-award-winning photo montage artist & renowned tap dancer Robert E. Brown pushes the visual envelope to itâ€™s breaking point with his overwhelming photomontage prints. Brown barely graduated from the University of New Mexico with a BFA and a background in printmaking. He was an early member of the Basement Films collective, a member of the Black Family collective, the Muse Gallery and was the proud founder of the now defunct Family of Shame subversive arts conglomerate.

Brown has exhibited in Philadelphia, New York and Washington D.C. His work is in several collections. He also enjoys refering to himself in third person, is the author of 3,600 unread haiku poems, and the unwritten novel "Pierre the Feisty Rodeo Clown vs. the Wrestlers I know."

This is the era of the Goat.

Kiladephia, Filthadelphia, I think I need to learn French.

9 days ago a 14 year old kid was shot dead because he didn't move his bicycle out of the street fast enough by a car full of 18 year olds. It was five blocks from my house. The city is averaging 10 m...

UPDATED Viva las vegas: This was a wedding no one will ever forget.

Vegas for 5 days is probably too much for anyone to handle. As I boarded the plane, bleary eyed and stinking, I actually thought to myself, "I think I need a break from fun." But I loved that town, gr...
