This past week we attended Art Prize in Grand Rapids, MI. It’s a fantastic event and one I highly recommend you put on your list of things to do next year. We enjoyed looking at lots of different works of art using all types of medium. However, there was quite a bit of art that made us go “hmmmmmm, I don’t get it.”
Ummm, pile and row of rocks???
Graffiti?? I’ve seen some street art that is awesome. This, not so much.
Wood, mesh, and paint. Point?
Coffee stirrers and coffee cups. I’m having a hard time figuring out what the artist was doing.
Pages from books??
Fish photos on china plates…head thunk.
The squares cut out of graph paper. WTH?
I have no freaking idea what this represents. Probably don’t want to know.
I think I get some of them, but others make me go hmmmm??
I’ve NEVER understood “modern” art.
We had a sculpture in a nearby town growing up–looked like a tangles hunk of the UGLIEST orange metal ever……the city paid TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars for it. Everyone hates it. It’s hideous beyond words. But, it is “art”. Yea.
Things that make you go……”They are crazy!”
I was going “Hmmmm!” myself! I have seen abstract art, modern art and graffiti and even junk art. But what do I know? They were in a museum, so someone must have appreciated them!
Rats! I have heard of that event and been to Grand Rapids for other events like theh Chihuly display at Fred Meyers botanical gardens. Sorry I missed this!
