b_m_b_m_b_m Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 There have been similar “protests” for a couple of weeks now, supposed anti oil protesters e.g. throwing condensed soup at famous and rare art in major European galleries. if it’s not an op it’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen and has absolutely no value at best, and counterproductive at worst.

It makes sense that big oil would want this, and fund this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most reasonable people are against the idea of defacing famous paintings. It’s a very unpopular thing to do. So if you are an oil heiress paying phony activists to try to make environmental activists look bad, it’s a good way to accomplish your goals.

stepee Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 To be fair it is also possible that she is just crazy and really thinks this as a good idea and that she’s sticking it to her parents or whatever. I’m not sure if thats better or worse but yeah either way it’s some weird plan being paid for by this rich lady and not a natural protest which explains why they seem like (bad) actors. Also being a Getty…isn’t she basicialy just targeting the competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 This bothered me at first, but these people are aware that they're not doing damage to the paintings because they're protected by glass and it's solely to get people talking. I think it's an ineffective strategy, but as long as they're not actually trying to ruin art I don't really care. Here is where one of them talked about it afterward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unogueen Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 AFAIK Getty has been divested from oil for a long time and does have a solid streak of supporting teams an causes around environmental protection. Sure these people are stupid, but you're not going to get 'rational' people going out of their way to make a scene either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
