What is really art? When visiting the reasonably varied exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (watch out for excessive pop-up windows when visiting the website) I came across Bjarne Melgaard's aptly named "sans titre" installation, including this painting:
An ironic comment on modern art? Meta meta meta of Tracey Emin's messy beds and installations of garbage (the installation was largely a heap of junk)? I'm not sure, but I sure wasn't too impressed.
The Palais de Tokyo, however, is certainly worthwhile visiting - excellent late night food & art in the weekends, and a cool retro/import-gadget shop, bookstore and more.

Well, partner, what do YOU think. Was this art or not? This is not a trick question, but a fairly important one for someone who visits art galleries.

Posted by: Anders on April 19, 2004 08:23 PMI could almost see it as a kind of meta-comment on "ceci n'est pas une pipe". Almost. But I just think it's a cheap shot from someone who was lacking in inspiration that day.
