Tangentially, I know business-speak has been discussed here off and on... "Blue sky thinking" and all that... but art-speak seems to me to be way more nebulous and Orwellian.
mistersloane is a meta-master of it rather than a victim, but I have one other artist friend who (how to put it?) hasn't been so lucky. I popped into White Cube in HK and had an eye-opening discussion with the staff, in the respect that they all sounded precisely like him. I wish I could spin out examples with the adeptness they demonstrated. I could try perhaps when I'm less tired (just spent the night assembling a couple of hundred CD sets). Essentially the gift is cloaking rather mundane observations in complex-sounding, mostly referential vocabulary.
Does anyone have the dimmest recognition of what I'm talking about?
