Michael Queenland's installation at LAXART, was less than interesting. Perhaps I just don't get it, but I'm generally not impressed when the objects displayed are not actually art, or simply just bad art. The work seemed more a reflection of the artist's own ego and basically status in the art world that he can do what he wants and call it art. His living space must be so interesting with the inclusion of kitchy sculpture and various domestic objects, that we would all like to see it. Maybe I would have felt different if I were to experience the theatrical/ performance aspect of it. To me, the work was not very stimulating; just a bunch of crap scattered around.
We are a group of Art students from the University of California Riverside who are attending a series of Art Galleries in several parts of Southern California. We have decided to use Blogger.com to post the pictures we take, and record our thoughts and opinions about the work we visit. You can find our critiques and thoughts on the work in the "comments" field, which appears below the pictures of the art.
