---"In his book Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More, Yurchak describes stiob as an ironic aesthetic of a very particular kind that thrived in late Soviet socialism. Stiob “differed from sarcasm, cynicism, derision or any of the more familiar genres of absurd humor” in that it “required such a degree of over-idenitification with the object, person, or idea at which [it] was directed that it was often impossible to tell whether it was a form of sincere support, subtle ridicule, or a peculiar mixture of the two” (2006:250)"

Even though I'm not
doing it anymore,
I still regard painting
on a heroic scale
as a woman to be
a subversive activity.
Maybe that's why I think
I can't afford to do it right now.
It's too immature,
I'm too GROWN-UP
for that.
I've read likewaaaaayyyy
too much
contemporary art theory
to want to paint now.

Imitations of age and youth.
