Weirdest art exhibition I have been to
They recommend to not do any superlatives on ones blog, because it will be boring if you found yet another one that tops your earlier judgement, and you keep repeating yourself. But this is truly so far the weirdest exhibition I have been to. If there is another one in the future, I will just change this title.
A lot of giant stuffed animal dolls, in the shape of duckies, rabbits, crabs and plenty more. Well, that actually sounds cute, you say? I think the pictures can speak for it self.
It starts with a few stuffed dog dolls.
This is fine, they do actually look cool.
Then a clam on a skate board
Some crabs on skateboard.
Then some characters hung
Then a duck with puke sitting on top of a misile? Is it from that saying like a sitting duck?
Then bunnies on top hospital/morgue bed, one is dead and the other is flopped
What makes it even weird is that in front of each item there is either dome speaker (lamp like thing above your head) or a headphones that produces sounds that one can only describe as trippy house music.
This exhibition was at MUMOK, called Hippies use side door by Cosima Von Bonin. Here is more
These bits are on plinths, you have got to go on a stair to see it from above.
Even the guide book that is written by the curator said something along the lines “the exhibition is left to people’s intrepretation of what it is about?”
WHAT?
Then at the end
I then said to myself “aaah that is why, now I understand…”
It was weird, but I enjoyed being weird out by it. Tee hee.
Have you seen any weird art lately? or what makes you feel weird?

it’s weird but kinda… cute? 😀
I think perhaps the pictures doesn’t really portray the whole picture of what makes it weird. The stuffed animals are cute if you see them one by one. 🙂
Seeing weird art I am more curious to the artist’s inspiration. I don’t push myself to understand it but let the art object be instead.
This exhibition seems very intriguing to me and fun too.
Yes.. 😄 I never really push myself to understand anything hahahah. Which is probably bad very intriguing indeed.
i actually understood (maybe, or at least my perception spoke to me) the first few pics… up to the part where there are TV screens and the very last one (are those mushrooms? if they are, no wonder i got a feeling like Alice had in Wonderland :p).
i’m not an expert in art at all, but i always thought of it as something to entertain us, whether it be nice looking or weird. just like movies and books. it’s enough that it evokes some kind of feeling in us (even if it’s the feeling of scratching your own head, LOL!).
🙂 Yes they are mushrooms. I am no expert in art, I am sure you know, I know nothing about art. You are right, as long as it evokes a feeling inside you. Whether it is making you feel weird, uncomfortable, smile or cry, it is work. You can appreciate it how ever you feel like.
Thank you for commenting. 🙂
WTH This is why I said I don’t understand “art” T_T
hahahaha! I go to a lot of museums and galleries, but this is the weirdest yet.
