This sub is a place to laugh at the art world. Mock the pretension of the elite or the naivete of the newly indoctrinated or the cynicism of outsiders or simply give r/circlejerk posts an art history twist.

Guidelines for Posting and Commenting

• Include sources for everything you post. Circlejerking is more interesting when people know what they're jerking about.
• Mark your serious comments with /unjerk. Often with art criticism, it's hard to tell when someone's being serious.
  
• For the same reason: if you must submit a serious link, put [SERIOUS] in the title.
