One could say that our first performances were exactly as embarrassing to watch as only performance art can be. You know, when it comes to a point where the toes of the audience really start to hurt and everyone but the performers get soaking wet from sweating.- Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset
Conclusion: no matter how bad the art, there is always hope. So before destroying and discouraging, relax. Think of the beautiful belly on this door, and of the time it took to grow. Respect that.
Pictures are of works by Elmgreen and Dragset: Belly Door (2006) and Powerless Structures, fig. 187 (2002)
Here is an interesting interview related to another work they made.
Technorati:
I love that door! It make me think of the Greenaway film: The Architects Belly
ReplyDeleteI adore these guys – Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset. Saw their Vacation piece in Milano some years ago: A car with a trailer bursting through the floor of tiled mall in the middle of the city.

The two works above are not so bad. To bad i cant say the same for los angeles art scene.
ReplyDeleteall bad and no hope.
I would love to have doors around my home like that - but not very practical with kids and cats! Again, with the second photo - love the suspense - and the humour, wouldn't you like to put other objects in its place
