Documenta 12
I have no idea what Documenta was until last Saturday. Wait, I don’t think that is what I really mean. Let me rephrase myself. After last Saturday, I still don’t quite understand what Documenta is! All I can say is, this so called "the most important exhibition of contemporary art" made me felt so confused, as I really do not know how to appreciate the art pieces I have seen there. Take a look at some examples which I have taken pictures of and then please do leave your comment ok? I need to know if I am the only artless person here, or the world of art is just going too far… Want to know more, check out here - Documenta 12.
This one is ok, looks quite artistic…
Wooden chairs… ok still acceptable…
Some kind of wall… special…
If you look properly, you will recognise that these are made of some plastic containers…
The person who drew this might have OCD (obsessed with cars?)…
I didn’t know broken ‘eggs’ are cool nowadays…
Read properly, did you see the word ‘URINE’? Gosh…
Mischa, bored by the exhibition; I was totally confused… Vik, holding the camera, thought he could be artistic too… :p
My mouth dropped open when I saw this one…
My mouth dropped open again… Mischa told me to close it, because this is ART.
By the time I saw these, my mouth did not drop anymore, it was numb…
Those are real humans, they were ‘performing’ art, or they were part of the art…
These two, are definitely NOT like those above… they tried too hard…
The art of football?
Vik was seriously trying to figure out what was he looking at…
The only object which I personally like… after seeing so many others…
Ok, I have many more pictures from the exhibition, but I guess I won’t put them all up here. I was deeply disappointed as I did not find the 1001 Chinese who flew from China to Kassel for the purpose of this exhibition… But I did had lots of fun with Vik and Mischa that day, so the 18 Euros ticket is worth the money, I think. That’s all I have to say about Documenta, if you would like to visit this exhibition, do it this year or wait for another 5 years!

recently i went to an Art gallery in Leeds. and look at the pictures you show here. i start to realise that, art is somethngs that very abstact, the more you confuse or blurr on it, the more art value it had. and they likes to draw somethings sexual, which so called natural art (according to my interpretation, wahhaha). so, as for conclusion, “qi qi guai guai” things = ART
