Um.... Yeah. Just kinda didn't like this at all.
I DID think it was adorably creative to replace the text on the wall with a pile of newspapers and rippy handouts. Wall text would've really distracted from the cluttered space of the works.
But.. I was just not impressed at all. I know, I come from a craftsperson perspective. But like... Just no. I do not think shoving a bunch of stuff together is a good art piece. I do not think concept justifies it. I don't care if he was making socio-political statements, whatever. Because even then, his statements just dont translate. What normal person looks at those and says, oh yeah, I see what you're saying about the government and capitalism, ya sure changes my mind, I'ma vote libral now. That just doesn't happen! He's catering to people to already agree with him. And what's the point then? It's philosophical masturbation, and nothing more. So, in effect, it just doesn't have an relevance.
The end.
