What is ART actually??

Given the state of my body, i decided to really give myself a break.. i was supposed to be on a holiday. and i am gonna be here for a while.. take it easy.. but the only thing was, i was taking things easy. it was more like becos i was making all the wrong turns and my life's all twisted up. the plan today was supposedly easy; 1) top up my bus card 2) buy a train ticket for my next day's adventure out of London (Bath Spa) 3) go to the Tate Gallery 4) Have my lunch by Thames River 5) Go home and rest.

so i went over to the Tate Gallery... its a contemporary arts gallery. Ok.. i admit.. i am no arts person. But hey, i was in an arty farty part of the world... i have to go take a look at least rite.. and in London.. most museums and art galleries are free except for those special showcases. (erm... wonder when will spore be like this)..

I was kinda in awe of the structure of the gallery. It was kinda huge and also the interior, they really gave tots to the set up. In I went, with no expectations...

In I went.. BLUR... I took a look at the picture.. trying hard to understand it...

This picture... its just a spray of red... but its called ART.

Then i changed my way of 'appreciating'.. i decided to read the synopsis before looking at the piece. Thinking that it might help me..
.

… I think not…

I was in disbelieve of my ignorance.. I just cant seem to figure things out.. so I decided to take a look at the artifacts instead..

To my horror…

Bars of soap..

Yes.. this is a curtain..

This is JUST A STACK OF CLOTHES!!! MY ROOM!!! SHOULD I start getting a small token fee??!! I am poor, struggling.. ‘tourist’…

Next… Art film…

The fortnightly show that is 7 mins long.. i actually told myself that i should take time to appreciate the art.. so i decided to sit myself at one corner and watch finish the show. The setting was set like an old cinema, with 2 small benches at the side of the room and a running black and white video against a white wall.
(my best adaption)

Yes... these are ART... i nearly.. died in my own laughter

Let me also mention that anything nude is art.. the other films.. were on naked women or men… just idling around in buff… and seriously…
(lucky for the hidden cam in my coat...)
