MOMA is RIGHT?

MOMA. It's pretty laughable, for example Bob Morris's felt is hung
next to the Beuys suit...One section is only "white" paintings (good
idea for the big MOMA white establishment) and so on.
One thing really works though: they group all the social/political art
(or pseudo social political ramblings some artists call art) into one
room that looks like some weird PC thrift shop. heh heh The
juxtapositioning this crap that was created over the 80's and 90's and
shows it for what it really is, a form of shallow one liners,
advertising, meaningless self-identity explorations and so on.
Together no particular one shines and the room makes the whole body of
work look severely outdated, a minor movement -- the same way we tend
to look back on Ben Shahn today as a pretty lame artist -- I think MOMA
hit the nail on it's PC head without even intending to. LOL

The idea behind the Modern Academic Art museum is to keep out the
majority of 20th century art which exhibits skill and craftsmanship.
The average Modern Academic Art Fundamentalist hasn't any idea of the
fine work produced by artists during the so called modern period.
The modern art magazines of the past show all those extinct artists
who were hot-shots for a brief period and are now the avant gone. The
interesting thing about them is that so many produced crap so similar
to the latest museum garbage.
The incompetent losers who produce the much same thing but never even
get a gallery show because they lack the personality and necessary
connections spend their lives wondering why they were overlooked.
After all their work isn't any worse. Just look at the miles of
abstract and no skill realistic drivel on the net and compare it to
the PR tauted garbage in museums or the latest art mag.
Experiment for an enthusiastic Artzy fartzy-
Get a de Kooning, erase the signature and sign your name to it and try
to get a show or sell it to a richy. See how far you get.
...no skill no art
Modern Academic Art is incompetence in search of an idea.
