Hey, Break Your Own Art, Buddy
-
The guy who shattered the million dollar Ai Weiwei vase at a Miami museum, a local artist, says he did it to protest the museum bringing in art from elsewhere instead of highlighting local artists. The specific act is actually an echo of something Weiwei did himself, dropping a Chinese urn in protest of the government and photographing it as art. So you could say, I suppose, that it's a taste of his own medicine. Or it's all art that's beyond the comprehension of mere mortals. Hey, the artist is still alive -- he can just make another one, right? (That's a joke. I'm not THAT much of a philistine....) (Miami Herald)
