When I go to an art museum, I want to see the craziest shit they can throw at me. I like looking at the old paintings and seeing the layers of paint and admiring the talent that went into it, but throw something titled Red #2 or Untitled and shit is about to get real. I want to have to figure out if there is actually art there or not. I want to look at the goddamn wall and think it's art and have the curator tell me that it's just a wall. I want the curator to tell me a dick joke and then tell me it's part of an art exhibit. I want to eat pasta and look at paintings of absolutely nothing.
I think modern art is interesting in the ways it challenges one's idea of art and forces us to confront that most definitions of art are fragile and malliable.
Plus it makes a certain kind of reactionary absolutely ballistic which is always funny.
What if the real art was the friends we made along the way?
Making close friendships and supporting each other through thick and thin as an elaborate form of performance art.
