rant on a boring art history class
Sitting in art history again. Art Since 1945. Having another discussion about Marcel Duchamp. “It’s not important what the object is, but what you think it is, and what you think it is is entirely dependent on the context and not what the object is.” I love Duchamp and the kind of F-U he gave to the snobby art critics but it is so boring to have the same discussion/lecture over and over again. This is the 5th class or so and only one has been stimulating. It could be due to the fact that I've had this professor 3 other times. So far we've had the same old talks about Bauhaus (I do love Bauhaus), Outsider Art (What is Art?), Duchamp (Art is what you make it) and Pollock (Abstract Art). The Pollock discussion was the most interesting mainly because I've never really concerned myself with abstract art. I do like it. I guess I'm just whining (what's new?) because I love art history and learning something new about it. It's still relatively early so I'll just wait and see what Toub has up his sleeve...
It could also be the fact that I'm still sick and sick of being sick so I'm full of extra complaints.
