Shock and Horror art can be used to
disturb you, find deeper meaning that others find repulsing, or
simply an artist putting emphasis where it is not needed. The story
about the two homosexual males who did performance art together for
instance. I believed that their work was more of a performance type
of art. Even with titles some of their work never made sense to me
such as when they screamed in each others face with the others tongue
sticking out. Only thing I could think of was how weird these two
individuals were. Many of the artist were fascinated with death and
loathed to broadcast their depression though dark art work. The piece
with the shark in the tank was actually good but that may just be the
shark week lover in me. Any type of art will have those who
appreciate it, and those who do not understand. This is one genre
that I really just do not fully understand.
I know you are not alone in your confusion about this work, but you are still allowed to have opinions about it-everyone is! Also, I like your comment about the shark it made me laugh... the only thing I would say is that your post seems a little all over the place try to focus on one quick point.
