    My favorite thing about art is that if you look at it and you hate it, that’s still a completely valid take

    Art museums became way more fun once I realized that

      I am going to MOMAs all over to laugh at the stupid shit some artists pull off. Laughed my ass off at the taped banana. I am not even interested in what the artist thinks or means. I am entertained, that is what I expect of art.

      Like in London, there was this big-ass room dedicated to a giant chair and I giant table, you could walk under. Heated, in the middle of a freezing winter. Like, the homeless were freezing out on the streets, and here we are as a society, heating a room for a chair and a table nobody could use. Just take in the absurdity, and you have to laugh at this shit to compensate and stay sane.

      This is very true for me. Same for a lot of history museums, which are full of historic arts and crafts.

      Like, some native art is just old craft, not actually good art to me, but some ancient cultures had a wild perspective and the art matches.
