Museum of Bad MOBA Art: Artwork so bad it deserves attention https://citymagazine.si/en/museum-of-bad-art-moba-so-bad-artwork-that-they-deserve-attention/ Sat, 11 Feb 2017 07:02:40 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=287380

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is therefore difficult to objectively assess what is beautiful and what is not. Especially when it comes to art that we enjoy subjectively. But that didn't stop the Museum of Bad Art MOBA (Museum of Bad Art), which is the first museum in the world dedicated to bad art. But it is a mistake to believe that it is a collection of scraps or children's drawings, but rather projects that flew high but landed low. And the motto of the museum? "Art too bad to ignore."

While traveling, it is also good to learn something new about the (local) culture. Read on for the best exhibitions of 2017, worth a trip to the other side of the world.

Museums can be a really great thing, but you have to admit that some of them are pretty boring. So it's no surprise that some people get tired of them. When we see so many frescoes and classic paintings for the uninitiated and Sunday art lovers, they all become more or less the same. But museums don't have to be boring, especially in the age of Snapchat. Don't know what we mean? Then take a look at this photo gallery and everything will be clear to you immediately.

Art is for everyone, but not everyone likes visiting art museums. The Paris Musées organization, which takes care of 14 Parisian museums, does not intend to "convert" those who do not like visiting museums, but rather offered them a more comfortable alternative: an online platform in which it "exhibits" its entire assortment of works of art. To promote the platform, they set up an imaginative advertising campaign tailored to the modern web user, in which ten star Instagram users were offered the opportunity to recreate one of the works of art in their own way.

Glasses on the floor of the museum – proof that art can be anything these days! https://citymagazine.si/en/glasses-on-the-floor-of-the-museum-proof-that-anything-can-be-art-today/ Fri, 27 May 2016 03:36:26 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=232964

"Today we live with the awareness that an art object can be anything and an artist can be anyone," said academic sculptor Marjan Drev. Like him, we also disagree with this, although today there are no more boundaries, because if art can be a snow shovel and a urinal, art can be anything! The latest such example is a scene from the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, where teenagers secretly placed glasses on the floor, and visitors mistook them for an art installation and reacted as expected. No, they didn't get angry, but rather tried to immerse themselves in this "artistic" work, and some of them even enthusiastically photographed the "work".
