Modern art

If you think paintings and sculptures are the best example of fine art, well, think again. The trend today is called... installations. What's an installation? Well... let's just say you can do ANYTHING and call it... art!
Believe me, I've seen things that goes beyond common sense... but that's art. It's not supposed to be logic, beautiful, to have a meaning... you just throw anything and voilá, you have a master piece. :-P

I'm an open minded person, but to ask people money to visit these new art forms is too much.
One of these latest expositions shows a pile of clothes and then some more clothes scattered around! Unbelievable! eheh
If someone leaves clothes like that at home, everyone will says it's someone lazy, clumsy, unorganized... but, if someone does exactly the same thing in a museum... it's art!! eheh And people will pay to see your clothes on the floor!! :-P

But that's not all... this same artist requested the museum to turn off the electric heat, so people could feel his art! So people are actually paying to see a mess in the museum, with a good chance of catching a cold! Vive l'art moderne! eheheh

I recently found another type of art, urban art, when people give "life" to meaningless items. There are new public toilets around Paris but for the moment they don't have any graffitis... but I found one with a different door sign ;-)
Basically, someone assembled the body parts stickers in a different way! :-P

Art... imagination is the limit...

I've never understood why some things are called art. Just because some egghead said it is art? If so, I really don't give a damn about that and would never spend my hard earned euros to see that. But I guess some people like to pay to see stuff others tell them it means something. I think those people are called.... stupids!
