Man hangs own artwork in museum in London to show how meaningless modern art has become

I don’t agree with him really.




But I also don’t disagree with him.

meh. I'm just getting attention whore vibes.

Modern art takes no skill.

It is art for the lazy.

The lowest common denominator of art.

This has never been done before.

Maybe he's actually talented and doesn't realize it.

I kinda want to buy a huge commercial building and just let random people hang up their art in it and label it all as “this is a rare original by such and such” and call the building “ (whatever city it’s in) rare art museum and see how many idiots pay to see it

The Don Cheadle statue isn't bad.

And yet his act of "trickery" is full of meaning which now that we know the context, gives the painting meaning. Knowing the context of any work of art is the key to understanding the meaning and most people, myself included, don't have the time to research every work of art and hence don't get it. Without knowing the story behind the work of art it loses relevancy to the viewer but to call it "meaningless" is intellectually lazy. Unless we are talking minimalism/reductivism who's main goal was nothingness. But if you know the context of minimalism/reductivism, it has mucho meaning. Si?
