05/09/09: Your Bad Ideas=Art
This is seriously a featured work of art in the MOMA’s current Paper: Pressed, Stained, Slashed, Folded exhibit. I only wish I had a photo with the companion pieces, a framed piece of crumpled paper flattened out and a framed piece of flattened folded paper. (I was reprimanded for taking this photo so was unable to snap the rest of Martin Creed’s “art”.) Seriously the Dadaists were right: anything in a museum can be called art no matter how lame it is. The only comfort I take from this piece is that all the times i’ve ripped up and crumpled bad ideas, little did I know I was making art.
