#31: Awful Art
So here’s something controversial that made a lot of people really mad. Many people see the function of art, especially modern art, to push boundaries and make people think. Well, one artist in Denmark really pushed boundaries, far past a point that many people found acceptable.
This installation gave people the opportunity to kill a goldfish; perhaps the artist’s goal was to see if anyone would actually do it. Perhaps it was a social experiment. Well, one person did, leading to the museum director to be charged with animal cruelty. I have to say, if this is what counts as modern art, then I don’t understand art.
