Continuing from Ayala’a earlier post, I still don’t quite understand the appeal of modern art. However, I suppose I must admit that everyone is entitled to his own taste of artistic expression, and if people think that random white spheres sitting outside a building is, on some level, beautiful, then so be it.
But this is simply going to far.
I mean . . . it’s curry.
That’s right, folks: for a limited time only, visitors at the MoMA can receive a free serving of Thai curry as part of their new art exhibit on the second floor. How giving away free food (while it is generous, I’ll admit) can in any way be considered art remains a mystery. The article did not do a very good job of explaining the reasoning behind the curry. Then again, this is modern art we’re talking about– maybe their whole point is that now, in the 21st century, when mankind has gotten so far and made so many advancements, there doesn’t actually need to be a point to anything in order for you to invest an afternoon or two in experiencing it.
I’ve heard metal spheres, paint splotches, and giant orange sheets of fabric referred to as art but food?? That’s definitely a first. Who knew art could be edible!
I understand what you mean. Maybe the point of the exhibit is to emphasize the process of creating art rather than the actual creation. Who knows?
This falls into the broad category of concept art which seeks to re-define and re-imagine the role of artistic expression. It is bold, and maybe it shows good taste?
