The article stated something on the lines of Chelsea Galleries being endangered because the leases will expire soon.  It is debated whether this is a good thing or not since having such a large amount of exhibits, 300, is heavy on the area.  I understand why they want to decrease the amount of art exhibits since, like the article said, it is common to see more bad art there in one day which “feels like a season in hell.” What constitutes bad art? Isn’t art appreciation relative to the viewer, so what allows people to say something is bad art?
