Art o' Not – You're the Critic!

Got art? These people think they do. When a statue is not really a statue but a decorated human being… is that still art? Am I asking stupid questions?

A living statues contest was held in the Russian city of Sochi earlier this month. Looks pretty interesting. What amazes me most here is that I really can’t tell that these exhibits are all living, breathing people. Perhaps you could better discern their humanity if you saw the show in person… or maybe it’s just a Russian thing

After museum curators and other art connoisseurs accept a two year old’s paint doodles for a genuine artistic effort, many true “artists” should probably call it quits in their profession, or at least so I would imagine. Basically, I’m appalled. This also proves once again that abstract expressionism is nothing but the biggest scam in the history of art. I am all for boosting some kids’ self esteem, but to allocate museum space for supposed masterpieces of a two year old is taking it a bit TOO far, in my opinion. Or am I way off base here?

I especially love the first response in the reader comments section, which goes like this: “Just proves that art curators have no idea!”
