Ran across this semi-interesting gallery of "quirky" art at the Art Basel Art Fair. Most of it is quite a bit on the conceptual side for my taste (and probably for viewing through photos)...but it's still interesting to see whats going on. Pretty cool for me to see the Picasso Palette...I like painting stuff..
Not a big fan of the violence video concept as it is described. Having each of their crimes up individually seems (to me) that it would glorify the acts a bit, while you show all men getting arrested on the screen in a large grid at the end as though that is somehow less valuable...or a less important act. I would have gotten a better message if you switched the two formats, showing the violence as a "general" occurrence and then bringing a bit of humanity in, showing each man arrested and taken into custody. but that's just me reacting to a description...so i can't even say that definitively
Anyways, take a look!
