Has today’s art lost its meaning?

The scene I’m about to describe plays out in the sculpture room on the first floor of Kresge Hall, which exists, I promise. Calm down.

In my Basic Sculpture class, we were “critiquing” our first projects. During this entire critique, I just wanted to jump under the band saw and power it up.

The whole experience was quite ridiculous and has made me hate contemporary art with every fiber of my being. We spent several minutes talking about things that weren’t even there!

The teacher would crouch, twist, even stand on his head, all the while saying, “Ah, I can see that here, and here, and you were thinking that the fall of civilization will be predicated by Dick Cheney cross-dressing in Laura Bush’s nightgown on the White House lawn with Saddam Hussein doing the Tootsie Roll. Yes. That makes perfect sense. Amazing.”
