Stomach Ache Raw Oats



few years ago, I enjoyed the play Art, Yasmina Reza of that in the Tivoli Ricardo Darin sang along with two actors. That work, in which three friends discuss the "beauty art "in a plain white box completely white background. Their different perception of the painting comes to risk his own friendship. It recommended a work , entertaining and witty. When finished, the audience talks focused on the snobbery that often surrounds us. I fear that it could also be called stupidity. Or not.

I like the tradition when I'm excited. That does not happen often, certainly, but for me it is as the unit of measure that allows me to assess the amount of art that is a work born of man's creativity. That does not mean that those who fail to get excited do not consider it art, of course not. We must accept the complex technology and its application for a creative purpose, also give rise to works of art, but will not reach special provoke emotion.
remember to enter the National Gallery in London and was shocked by a wonderful picture of Van Gogh. The same thing has happened in the palace Vistahermosa the Thyssen museum, with many museums or even less important. However, the feeling that causes me to visit C. Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, the MACBA in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bor the Pompidou in Paris, etc. is far from the excitement. I am convinced that many of us that we are bordering on stupidity to see us looking at much of the work in these museums.

I remember that for many years, visiting the Louisiana Museum , Denmark, near Copenhagen, I decided to capture the artistic burden had uniform exposure of 20 giant policeman in New York, hanging each one in his rack, side by side to along a corridor. The only difference was his standard uniform size, as measured two meters. Obviously, I could not understand that. Someone told me it was an allegorical reference to how small we are compared to power. - Aaah! Very well. Say it is not my prior definition of what is art. At least high art.
And the feeling I would be closer to the perplexity or frustration, if not the anger directly. Perhaps

should say now that I must be an uneducated, inept and jerk? Not really. I feel like it, because I do not think. Although it is certain that these museums have their followers, admirers and advocates, (otherwise it would not make sense its existence), I think we are a majority, "Quiet yes, but in the end most out- we think that this kind of art does not go with us.

made me smile now reread a paragraph of that play that I would play here but not come to mind.


"If I am I because I am me, and you are you because you, I'm me and you are you. If, on the contrary, I am me because you're you, and you are you because I am, then neither I nor you me you ... "
