6/11

I think it's interesting to have a discussion on the nature of art and how observers relate to it, but I think that this article is just another in a series of attempts to ridicule art that the presenter "just doesn't get".

Perhaps ridicule is a strong word, but I'm out of better words (it's late). It's the journalistic equivalent of "DAE hate modern art?" It doesn't invalidate the work that the artists are doing to anyone except those who are already biased against it, and it rarely sparks positive conversation about the nature of art in those who are already biased for it.
