Went to barbican yesterday, to visit the Laurie Anderson, Gordon matta-Clark and Trisha Brown exhibition. It was full of very inspirational performance art.
While i was there though, i ventured into The Curve, an OxBow shaped room that stretches about 100metres and exhibits art free to the public. Beat The Champ by Cory Arcangel was there - a really cool display of bowling videogames all rigged at the controllers to throw gutterballs every time.
I started researching Arcangel today, and started with a video of the work that made him "first come to prominance", Super Mario Clouds (2002-present). At the top of the comment list, under 'most liked' comments on Youtube, someone writes "Any work made by men can be considered as art". What the hell does this even mean?...
Besides, it's clever, but ultimately very boring....
