Eh

I get it or at least I think I do anyway. I even rather liked the analysis of the sculptures. It just feels that is what conceptual art s supposed to be. Like how during the 2008 presidential race how Tina fey just read verbatim what Sarah Palin something Sarah Palin had said. They didn’t have to change anything to turn it into a parody. I feel that if I was going to make a fact exhibit of conceptual art as a joke it would pretty much look like this. It has everything. It’s ugly, visually uninteresting, and filled with vague clues that are supposed to lead you into deep thinking and a conversation. And with the low-fy construction and the appropriation you get all of the “is it art” conversations and the legal issues over copy write infraction. Actually all that is missing is the unattractive naked man doing an uncomfortably long performance piece. I don’t even find it offensive or angering it just a bit boring. It’s a like a hardcore feminist painting her body in chocolate and screaming that she’s a consumable product. I don’t have a problem with the message but with the presentation and the physical form of the work tat makes me go “eh”.
The more I think about it though I do like those statue colleges though.
