I love modern art (external-content.duckduckgo.com)

When I go to an art museum, I want to see the craziest shit they can throw at me. I like looking at the old paintings and seeing the layers of paint and admiring the talent that went into it, but throw something titled Red #2 or Untitled and shit is about to get real. I want to have to figure out if there is actually art there or not. I want to look at the goddamn wall and think it's art and have the curator tell me that it's just a wall. I want the curator to tell me a dick joke and then tell me it's part of an art exhibit. I want to eat pasta and look at paintings of absolutely nothing.

How so? I don't pay anything for YouTube and I can see it no problem. There's also a mirror link posted by the bot that does that.

Brad Troemel has spent a decade unraveling the phony world of contemporary art.

Did your eyes skip over the part were I pointed out that there were valid criticisms and mentioned some myself?
