>>5968665>>5968668>modern art looks ugly / childish /rubbishFrom my knowledge of contemporary art there is a theory known as the Institutional Theory Of Art, it is put forth by the American art critic Arthur Coleman Danto, the definition is sort of tautological it basically says, if it is in a museum or written about by an art critic / philosopher etc, then it is Art. So if you create an elephant dung painting or block of frozen blood in your own backyard it is not art, but if Chris Ofili or Marc Quinn does that at Tate Modern and issues a press release, then They Have Made An Art. There are movements and things like Abject Art / Bataille and naive art with philosophical and historical underpinnings which I mentioned and discussed in past qtgs
Anyway my first thought upon seeing this sculpture was that it was some detournement made by 4chan itself, literally to incite 4chan. Pic related is my understanding of it
