Dan C Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 You're not wrong, but you're not right. You're missing out on stuff that some people would call genius, and that others wouldn't. I guess the big question would be, why care if it doesn't affect you? But then you could argue against that easily. All in all, this thread is going to go nowhere fast.

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 well i want someone to point out what i'm missing. i'd like to be wrong here. you can't like everything but i don't understand what anyone likes about them although saying that 'bend it' is a great dance.

Dan C Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Well it's hard to know where to start, do you like 'modern' art? What area of their work do you want to know more about, and all that jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan C Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Wicked, read this, it's a good interview with them, and helps to explain why they do what they do http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/200...orge-white-cube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J3FF3R00 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I saw a (literally) huge installation of their work at MoMa in NYC last year. Some of their stuff looked cool. My ultimate impression was that they are just two self-obsessed aristocrats with a dirty sense of humor. They are definitely not geniuses. They're just rich.
