Postmodern art is a funny thing. When it comes to Christianity, the left offers Piss Christ. But it sanctifies Hillary's failed campaign.
Had Hillary Clinton been elected president, this confetti would have rained from the ceiling.
In her current St. Louis gallery exhibition, artist Bunny Burson remembers the future that very nearly was, creating an artwork using the iridescent confetti that was primed to go off on election night this past November 8, had the country elected its first woman president.
A longtime Clinton devotee, Burson was the executive director of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities under President Bill Clinton’s administration.
“I was among her supporters at the Javits Center waiting for the symbolic shattering of the glass ceiling and the shard like confetti to fall down on us. We left the Javits Center at 2 in the morning with profound emptiness,” Burson told NBC. The unused confetti had to be removed from the air cannons and swept into empty boxes by workers.
“I wanted to fill that emptiness with hope by giving voice to my feelings that even in defeat, Hillary’s confetti could be used to inspire the next generations of little girls and young women to dream big and to act on their dreams,” she added.
So what does this piece teach us? It teaches us that leftist failure becomes art. That in the absence of religion, the left sanctifies its own politics. Its electoral failure is transformed into martyrdom. And so Hillary's miraculous confetti will keep blowing around in a "work of art" that will inspire lefties to continue failing by being just like Hillary.
