<\/p>\nFriday night Sam and I went to the benign Culver City Art Walk.\u00a0 This Art Walk consisted of five or six galleries in a row on one street.\u00a0 Ordinarily this would be great except for two things. 1) no parking 2) most of the art was complete crap.<\/p>\n
At one of the galleries we found the ultimate example of bad art (passing for good).\u00a0 As we walked in another patron was leaving and exclaimed “this kinda shit pisses me off!”\u00a0<\/p>\n
What kinda shit was she talking about?\u00a0 well… see for yourself:<\/p>\n

We found a CV for the artist – Joe Bradley – in the back of the gallery.\u00a0 The show was\/is called “Like a Turkey Thru Corn.”\u00a0 If the above photos aren’t enough, you really have to see the “walkthrough” video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n This exemplifies all that can be bad about modern art.\u00a0 These “paintings” consist of raw canvas and grease pencil.\u00a0 Some write-ups about other shows are unintentionally obvious about his horrible work.\u00a0 The first quote is actually for the show you see above:<\/p>\n The paintings presented here, however, continue the artist’s beloved and maligned new Schmagoo series, first presented in New York last fall. A somewhat ridiculous word, “Schmagoo” originates from the Beat-era street slang for heroin. It is this wry semiotic pairing that compels the artist to take a primitive approach<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
