Museum of Bad MOBA Art: Artwork so bad it deserves attention

Museum of Bad Art MOBA (Museum of Bad Art) is not common museum. Its curators collect and exhibit bad art of all appearances. It's not about children's hands, pranks or something that landed in the pile for bulky material removal, but works of art made with a serious approach and the desire for excellent work.

MOBA is right a haven for bad art. But what is bad art anyway? What is ugly and what is beautiful? If you think it's easy to break into a museum of bad art, you're wrong, it's not easy meet low standards curators. The process is very selective. They are not interested in kitsch, not in seemingly bad and boring works of art. Director Michael Frank once said that in determining what is ugly they use the criterion of Judge Potter Stewart, who in the sixties said that we know obscenity when we see it. "We are mostly looking for works of art that were created with the intention of giving artistic insight, but something obviously went wrong. There has to be something about the artwork that makes you stop and wonder why the artist continued down this path to the end.”

The idea for the museum was born in 1994, when she is a co-founder Louise Reilly Sacco found a place on the wall for a picture that the antique dealer threw in the trash, but kept the frame. Then her friends started giving her other ugly pictures and the collection "grew and grew". Today it has a museum in Boston three exhibition galleries, and food more than 600 pieces bad arts. At any given moment, there are at least a minimum number of exhibits 70 exhibits. Each is accompanied by a short commentary that explains the painter's vision in a rather comical way. But when we come out of the museum, we start to appreciate unappreciated art, because it is presented here in such a way that it really impresses us.
