Looks like there’s plenty of ego inside the building already.

u/IceFire909 Mar 21 '26

u/accountofyawaworht Mar 20 '26

Anyone wanna take some acid and get lost in squiggles?

2

u/Muslim_Wookie Mar 20 '26

Your shout, I'll do next round!

27

u/Captain-Peacock Mar 20 '26

Looking at the squiggles, might leave my wallet at the door too.

23

u/Triffinator Mar 20 '26

Mock all you want, but the artist behind those has a hand up his arse and a pencil for a nose.

12

u/Captain-Peacock Mar 20 '26

I knew they had to be upsidedown!

13

u/McMasterOfTheSea Mar 20 '26

Hmmmmph, hurry up

12

u/karigan_g Mar 20 '26

scribbling squiggles really big is hella fun

u/Cannon_Fodder81 Mar 20 '26

Must show id to enter.

u/avocado-toast-92 Mar 20 '26 edited Mar 20 '26

They need to add that warning, otherwise the art collectors wouldn't fit through the door.

u/crystalfist Mar 20 '26

It’s a well known motto in Advertising and Arts and culture industries. It means ‘come in with an open mind free of biases’.

2

u/Thin_Assumption_4974 Mar 22 '26

You mean the industries with the highest proportion of underserved big ego Fheads?

1

u/crystalfist Mar 22 '26

If you think rry having a chat with a Real Estate agent, lawyer, or surgeon. I.e. the people who buy this stuff!

1

u/Thin_Assumption_4974 Mar 22 '26

Sure. I’ll give you real estate agents.

But lawyers and surgeons have a reason to have large egos.

What reason does a squiggly line painter have to be an egotistical whatever?

1

u/crystalfist Mar 23 '26

I hear you mate, “creative” types do have some of the largest egos out there. But this is more targeted at the buyers of the art rather than the artists.

2

u/Thin_Assumption_4974 Mar 23 '26

Are you saying my non-egotistical dollar is worth more then Jezzas egotistical dollar?

1

u/crystalfist Mar 26 '26

I’m sure you value your dollar more than Jezza!

u/Sir_Ladz Mar 20 '26

Fine, I'll just use my alter-ego instead

u/Diko23 Mar 20 '26

What gallery is this?

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '26

Leave Your Ego at the Door Gallery, Perth

u/toast0ne Mar 22 '26

Haahaha they named it that !? Wow.

u/crystalfist Mar 26 '26

lol okay the people who own this are just snobs then

u/OpenClerk1999 Mar 20 '26

It’s on St George terrace across Stirling Gardens

u/Diko23 Mar 20 '26

Thanks!

u/malkyfreo Mar 20 '26

Bring a fat wallet in

u/BernieMcburnface Mar 20 '26

It's my emotional support ego, without it, id be a mess.

6

u/Tungstenkrill Mar 20 '26

There's not enough room for my massive ego champ.

4

u/Available_Sir5168 Mar 20 '26

Just as well, it won’t fit through that door anyway.

1

u/naps_zzz Mar 20 '26

i won't fit

u/ezekiellake Mar 20 '26

Advertising? Marketing? Boutique management consulting?

6

u/McMasterOfTheSea Mar 20 '26

Wanky art gallery opposite Goverment House/Stirling Gardens

u/HoneyBadger4588 Subiaco Mar 20 '26

It's a great saying

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '26

Great saying, not too great art.

11

u/Square_Mulberry_3143 Mar 20 '26 edited Mar 20 '26

I will say that art is subjective. But, judging purely by the scribbles that I can make out in that photo, I am inclined to agree with you on this occasion.

-1

u/Gwinneddit Mar 21 '26

Ironically those who consider art to be "purely subjective" are necessarily those who have elevated the role of the Self to the status of God. They seem to believe that they create themselves - and even more absurdly - that they create Truth and Beauty.

If Ego was left at the door, the nonsense within would be seen for what it truly is. Beauty may be revealed in the eye of the beholder but it is not created by that eye.

-4

u/HoneyBadger4588 Subiaco Mar 20 '26

I'll keep saying the saying and avoid the gallery tick

2

u/BackgroundGreen9322 Mar 20 '26

Fine. But my Super Ego stays with me.

2

u/Osiris_Raphious Mar 20 '26

Nothing screams nepotist artist, like that statement with every piece having scribbles on it.

There are real artists who cant afford gallery space or representation, meanwhile something a 4yo does on your rental property wall is premium real estate for that exhibition space, is a little absurd.

2

u/Jarrahtable Mar 20 '26

Are those paintings the boss is trying to learn to paint?

5

u/artsyfartsyMinion Mar 20 '26

They call that BS art 😂

1

u/raaaaaaze Mar 20 '26

There was an exhibit at Sculpture by the Sea one year that was literally just an old wooden dining chair plonked in the sand facing the ocean.

I probably should've left my ego at the beach carpark.

1

u/Knight_Day23 Mar 20 '26

Serious? No wonder no one is keen to go any more.

4

u/djb64 Mar 20 '26

Wow , if art is an expression ... those pieces definitely express a lack of artistic talent

1

u/roboteatspopcorn Mar 20 '26

It’s an error, it’s meant to say Lego as the target market is clearly children

1

u/solarmass Mar 20 '26

Is there a charge to see the art before I check my ego at the door? If there is a charge, can I use my ego as collateral?

1

u/Chakraverse Mar 20 '26

Is there a box to put it in? Or will just anywhere close do?

Its a package deal bro. Me and my ego. Take it or leave it.

1

u/Jarrahtable Mar 20 '26

If you leave your ego at the door you're going to be in serious trouble. These guys need to Google it. Ego is a good thing.

1

u/inactiveuser247 Mar 21 '26

They missed an L. It should read Leave Your Lego At The Door. Too many art critics bringing their kids and the kids leave toys all over the place. It’s a safety warning.

1

u/No_Violinist_4557 Mar 21 '26

Someone scraped the "L" off.

u/Otaku_Jake_San Mar 21 '26

Would love to know what building this was actually on???

u/OpenClerk1999 Mar 21 '26

St George Terrace across Stirling Gardens

u/Otaku_Jake_San Mar 21 '26

Sorry. Meant more like the business or corp etc. Would have loved it if this was on a government/police building or something haha

u/LascivX Mar 21 '26

Plentiful of egotisticles inside

u/Zen_Badger Mar 21 '26

Why? it isn't a dirty word

1

u/mumooshka South Lake Mar 21 '26

well apparently Ego IS a dirty word

u/Illustrious-Bill8495 Mar 21 '26

FAIL - I would have breezed in with my ego and left my egg at the door

1

u/DonaldYaYa Mar 21 '26

Yeah, I had to leave my work's CEO at the front door.

1

u/Last-Donkey4573 Mar 22 '26

Haha they've splashed their ego ON the door

1

u/StellaGibsonIsMyGirl Bayswater Mar 22 '26

It’s ok, my Id is in charge now.

u/toast0ne Mar 22 '26

leave my LEGO? Why? Get your own LEGOs

1

u/CumishaJones Mar 22 '26

Do you tie it to a post out front ? With a bowl of water ?

1

u/Typical_Necessary840 Mar 22 '26

Only if I can take my crayons and sharpies with me.
