You Call That Art?

Don't you really hate it when you see a small black rectangle next to a large red square that's on a large sheet of canvas, and it's called "Envy," and it's considered art. How hard is that to do? I could totally do that. I just choose not to.

My friend and I spent ~ 2hours at the Phoenix Art Museum (you're not missing anything) and first we went through the modern art exhibit. At one point we pretty much walked into a pitch black room w/ a fogger device and it apparently was called art. I was like "where's the real art?" Seriously. Or how about the revolving halogen lamp that relected light onto the walls of the round room? Or the video clip that was mostly black nothingness accompanied by music. I wonder if they accept living arts. What if I stood there on a small block wearing a jeans and a t-shirt that said "my art is better than your art," or "the real art's upstairs," or "my friend went to Phoenix and all I got was this stupid t-shirt they call art."
