"It's supposed to be shit" is and will almost always be a bullshit excuse in my eyes. It's on par with "it's just a prank, bro" and "it's a social experiment." Performance art is brilliant and fantastic and doing something badly isn't that, it's just lazy.
You're not deconstructing anything by doing it badly, you're just doing it badly. If all your "deconstruction" is doing is asking "what is [concept] really?"
Then you're a boring person asking boring questions. Or at least 9 times outta 10 it's boring, because I do love the ship of Theseus.
I think that “it’s supposed to be shit” can be good when it comes from an artist that has the ability to do it well. No idea if this is the case for Raygun, but it’d be interesting to me if she had proven her chops elsewhere then decided to put on a horrible act.
