I hate to admit, that if you were to visit my home you would be greeted by artistic features such as an Arrow Dynamics running wheel, a couple of Coaster Dynamics models and a couple of generally pleasing and inexpensive prints which were purchased in frames that were pleasing at the time (literally if you ask me what they are pictures of, I couldn't tell you without checking!). I visited The Louvre and was thoroughly bemused by the Mona Lisa. I am content that my understanding of 'art' is low.
With all this in mind, it may be my misunderstanding but how the heck is this 'art'???
I once had a panic attack at the gym when someone got a bit too close to me (within 1m) when I was getting changed... and I was in my boxers at the time.
On the other hand, I felt this was quite clever by the artist.

What I don't get is the number of pictures of people standing staring at the canvas. They are blank... that takes a fraction of a second to see. Why stare at them?
Is it jus me that is bamboozled by 'art'?
