Is It Art? No!

Published 6/12/03

I hate the Museum of Modern Art in New York because it has exhibits of “art” — “art” that consists of, for example, a large square canvas painted solid blue.

Is that art? No.

Taking the absurdity a step further, we have “minimalist” “artist” Martin Creed whose “art” includes such wonders as the one pictured below, entitled “some blue-tack kneaded, rolled into a ball, and depressed against a wall.”

Here’s Martin himself, obviously laughing at the Brits who awarded him £20,000 and the Turner Prize for his work “The Lights Going On and Off.” It consists of a room with two blinking lights.
