Art Exhibits

Yesterday, I went to the LACMA with my hubby and my best friend FF. Truth be told, I have not been to LACMA in over 10 years and I felt a bit embarrassed about it. The first exhibit we saw was the special exhibit in the Art of the Americas Building called "Phantom Sightings: art after the Chicano movement." I really didn't like it. There were couple of interesting pieces there but as a whole, it made me less guilty about being there for the past 10 years. Then we moved on to the "Doctrinal Nourishment:Art and Anarchism in the Time of James Ensor" exhibit, which was amazing. If one can make a trip to LACMA, you should head over there before July 6, 2008, when this exhibit comes to an end.

Then while I was at work I saw an article on BBC news about seven German artists living with lice in a museum for three weeks in the name of Art.

Is this really art?
