i just got to vent out a bit, and see if anybody maybe can explain me a few things..
my girlfriend is a graduate photography student, and I agreed to come on one of the art shows with her.
The art "work" that is typically presented to the masses is so retarded. I mean to the point of some guy taking wet paper and smushing it on the wall. Or some girl taking a paint brush and putting two or three dots on small piece of paper and putting it into some sequence..
when i walk up to it, I cant help but say "this is stupid". My girlfriend starts protecting the "artists", saying that i cant be an asshole to peoples "art", because i dont know the meaning of it. But to me, this trash on walls and 5 year old painting is so pretentious, that i cant even talk to the "artists", who surround themselves with other "artists" and talk about their work.
Am i really that much of an asshole?
There was a video of a guy, medium close up, his head was in the center, and it was one long 7 min shot of his chewing a bubble gum.. how is this art?? And people actually stopped and watched it with a serious look on their face..
i dont get it..
i guess im used to idea that art requires some sort of craft.. with out the craft, art seems to be pure massive pile of pretentious sh*t
