Okay...I think my poor dumb redneck head is going to explode!
I wanna know who these freakin art critics think we are? Who the hell is the art made for?! When I say "I don't get it"...the response is, "well you are just not smart enough" or "cultured enough" or "you just aren't educated in art enough" etc etc...and then these assholes go on and explain the art as if I have no clue what planet I'm on or why shit is brown! Quote: "The contrast between the supremely efficient cactus and the contrived efforts of man is both comic and insightful, highlighting the commercial exploitation of natural resources in the region."
...What the hell are you talking about?!
Hey I'm not stupid...I understand the statement...but what does it have to do with a simple ride on a electric bicycle, and then using some waste water to paint (quite a nice) picture of a cactus. If the "artist" had a preconceived "journey" in mind, good for him. But all I got in the end was a lovely little picture of a cactus, that I'll give you $99.95 (if its signed) and an electric bicycle that can get me to the shop for a case of beer.
So once again, I will be judged as one of the "lower forms" on this planet, who just doesn't "understand" and once again I ask "who is the art for?"...if I am expected to look at, use it, pay for it or take it home, treat me with a little respect and acknowledge the fact that if I don't get it...it may not be worth getting! And if it requires you explaining it to me, then it definately is not worth getting!!
