I had a huge argument with art curator over how a wall a black is not art. Got in face about how if it’s that easy I should just do it. I’m like bruh I did it in My room as a child. Modern art is soo pathetic.
I mean, if that’s the example you’re going for… It’s actually quite easy to imitate Van Gogh, yet everyone has a reproduction somewhere at home. The fact that it’s easy to imitate doesn’t make it less artistic. If your vision of good art is photorealistic paintings, maybe you should open your mind about it. Have you actually been to some contemporary art exhibitions? I’m not saying you have to like everything but there’s some amazing work being done by passionate people. Generalisation like “modern art is pathetic” doesn’t seem to indicated a real understanding of art and intentions.
Like the guy who pooped on a tile and had it made into production and then tiled a room with it? Or who made a machine that eats and generates human like feces? Or the dirt room exhibit which is just a room in a building full of dirt?
I get they are trying to express themselves but that doesn’t make it inherently profound.
