Art
On Wednesdays evenings, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) opens its doors to the unwashed masses so that the hard-working (but stingy) proletariat can get a taste of art that is usually reserved for the rich and powerful. After two hours at this cultural open-house tonight, this is my conclusion: I don't get it.
I don't get how I'm supposed to interpret an exhibit where all I see is a video of a guy humping a 2-by-4. Nor do I know how to appreciate a canvas covered with 3 coloured stripes repeated a few times (didn't we all make something of this sort at some point in elementary school?). Really, how big of a crack pipe do you have to smoke before you commision something like "Guy humps 2-by-4: A Video Commentary"? Am I the only one who isn't hopped up on goofballs here?
Jon, please explain this art thing to me.

WHAT?!
but talk about focusing on the... negative side of interpretive art, there must have been more than 2 pieces in the building, like the classic plagarized colorized print en masse claiming to be art (you know what i mean), so at least 3, perhaps. at least it wasn't the aa bronson exhibit. *shudder*
