this is art? 1/7/2008

We went to the walker on the free Saturday. It was really busy with many children. Maybe I don't have an appreciation for modern art, but is putting a toilet brush along with a mannequin hand and a sign that says ""no children allowed"" in a display case really art? There really was nothing there that made me contemplate it. At one point, there was an exhibit where an artist had used a black marker and wrote on the walls and drew stick people and other pictures of a 3rd grade caliber. I didn't read everything, but what I did read seemed to aim for a shock value. There was a stick person with a speech bubble that said ""I'm standing on a bridge in Minneapolis. Ooops."" It really does take a lot to offend me, but I found this in very bad taste- trivializing a pretty recent tragedy. I wouldn't waste a Saturday going here again. It's not a place for everyone, that's for sure. more
