Der Versuch des Mannes, die Frau zu ergründen, ist seit Jahrtausenden gescheitert. Das immer wieder zu versuchen liegt an der einfachen Konstruktion seines Hirns, das das Unmögliche nicht als unmöglich begreifen kann. Die Versuche misslangen, die Versuchung blieb, und daraus wurde Kunst.

- Man’s attempt to fathom women has failed for millenia. To still go on making these attempts is due to the simple construction of his brain that cannot grasp the impossible as impossible. The attempts failed, the temptation abode, and thus turned into art.

2. (now chiefly as the first part of compound words) something artificially created or manufactured, as opposed to something natural

2009, Dorit Steenhusen, Träume Schäume Fieberwahn, page 75:

dumb kunst

/dәm kΩnst/

noun

1. DUMB - informal: silly, stupid / KUNST - German translation: art

“[chuckles]... That's some dumb kunst!"

2. a simpleton, unable to understand the linguistical concept of homophones, and thus associates one unflatteringly connotated like-sounded word with one that is, ironically, completely benign in meaning.

“Karen is such a dumb kunst for getting lost in translation and writing us off, thinking our name was ‘Dumb Cunts.’ I mean, come on; ‘Dumb Cunts’ would be a horrible name for a brand, Karen!”

3. a psychological exploration into one's mind, toeing the fine line between deeming a specific topic - usually of a taboo nature - offensive, while finding funny and laughing at all other taboolous topics, of which may otherwise be deemed offensive to someone else.

”Did anyone catch when the dumb kunst occurred? He was laughing at all the jokes about everyone else, until all of a sudden, he was livid and stormed out of the room. I guess that joke about priests and child molestation touched him in all the wrong places.”

4. a subvertising agency of thought provocateurs who culture jam to today’s hits while creating cognitive dissonance under the guise of the passive- aggressive wearing of ‘graphic’ t-shirts - an over-the-counterterrorism counterculture poking of the bear, the jackass, and the elephant. Take two (2) and call us in the morning!

”It may seem silly, but I was prescribed dumb kunst to cure me of my inability to actually say what is on my mind. Now, I simply let Dumb Kunst speak for the silent as I rock out to the best laughs and t-shirts from dumbkunststudios.com - Greater Goods for the Lesser Evil!”
