Arty Party

This past week I visited two art museums:

The Wexner Center for the Arts
&
The Cincinnati Art Museum

I've been to both before, but the Mark Bradford exhibit (WC) and the SEE AMERICA exhibit (CAM) were new to me. I wasn't drooling this time, the way I usually do around contemporary art. Both times I just looked.

Why do people spend their time and money to "look"? Are these pieces failed attempts to engage people? Or are they not attempting that at all? Often I worry that my own work is too bizarre for my audience to feel anything. (Yes, I am aware I am grouping myself with visual artists)

I'm bored with the theatre. I'm bored with "movement only".
