Sometimes modern art can really be bullshit
Ah...to have all the time in the world to stroll along the Sydney Harbour...and peruse the Australian Museum of Contemporary Arts. Fabulous.We saw the "Interesting Times" exhibit that portrayed contemporary Australian art. One of my favourite exhibits was Ruark Lewis' Banalities, where he took news headlines and cultural/political/social slogans and used white text over a huge black background. Each slogan is numbered like a list, read it, it's awesome! My favourite three: "10 The drunkards finished off their cosmetic treatment in a car; 12 Girls who get involved with men are troublemakers; and 13 Drink narrates old men." He's definately an artist to check out. There was a series of works that really irritated me though. I understand some artists are all about the process of art, rather than the product (quoting Subcontinental Giant), but there were these two pieces that were literally...strips of magazine and newspapers glued to a piece of paper. Is it the nice heavy metal frame that makes it worthy of a museum? Or perhaps the shiny glass covering? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for collage...that's what I love. But really....come on!
Anyways, what better way to end a perfect day than with a perfect night of drunken debauchery! Nic...Dumpy...Junky and Anand came over and...well....you get the picture. Here's a taste:
