I gotta be honest. I don't get modern art.

It'sa marketing gimmick.

People love to complain about how they don't get modern art. "my kid could draw this!" "it's just a square/"

So, you pay us some money, come look at our squares and funny shapes, feel superior to the snobs and elitists who claim to actually like this stuff, and then you go home and tell all of your friends who "don't get it" either.

Then, they come too!

The free market is so clever that it gave you exactly what you wanted, even though you didn't know you wanted it!

Just kidding. I'm part of an art installation and I always give the same speech to visitors!

Aaah.

Phew

Modern art is so weird!
