Personally, I prefer Impressionism. I don't particularly mind non-conventional art, but IMHO, Art shouldn't involve killing things. I have to vote disturbing - same for the mice fingergloves in the first thread.

Here's a funny one. Credit for this story goes to my friend in the visual arts degree program at the University of Victoria. They had a year-end project due aimed at provoking commentary from others in the faculty. One of her classmates made forty clay models of uteruses (uteri?), about six inches tall, in various colours. She attached them to sinks, urinals, desks, etc. after school, so that people could see them the following morning. Anyway, the custodian came around that evening and threw them all out. The uterus-maker had to scramble around in garbage cans to retrieve her project.

An ironic and practical commentary on artistic worth? [img]smile.gif[/img]
