There’s an art exhibit of sorts in Central Park called ‘The Gates’. It’s 7,500 bright orange gates (they look like arches) with fabric panels or banners that hang off them and blow in the wind. it’s a $20 million dollar art project - paid for by and created by the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude - and it was unfurled today. I’d like to see it, though i doubt i will since they’ll only be up for 16 days.
I think my favorite part about it is this quote in the nytimes: “It has no purpose,” Jeanne-Claude said. “It is not a symbol. It is not a message. It is only a work of art.”
Art with meaning is fine and all, but a lot of times its just something stupid that they artist makes something up like “oh, yeah, totally it’s a representation of the anarchy present in society brought on by… uh, how about squirrels?” when really it’s just a toilet bowl with a book on top of it.
Sometimes I like it when it’s just supposed to be art. Same with literature; i’m not entirely convinced that every author we talked about in school really had the intended meaning in the books he wrote that our professors told us about. Maybe it was just a story about a guy doing something or other. But i guess that’s why i didn’t major in literature.
