What is modern art? Really, it can be anything. An interesting pattern on a broken CD, a mis-printed page from a broken printer, a ruptured plastic bottle... Modern art takes upon it any meaning you give. That shattered window can have symbolism beyond just something to clean up, and that melted cup could be more than something to throw away.
This year, the frosh put on the first annual Blacker Hovse Art Show, a symposium of modern art. Here's some of the exhibits:
 |
| Title: abcdz Description: Words, words, words are the matter of what we read. Assemble letters into words. It's our choice: wisdom or foolishness. What can be used to right a wrong can be just as easily used to slander. |
 |
| Title: CoRupShin Description: When we can't read, we can't think. If we can't think, we can't live. Such censorship takes away our independence, leaving us helpless. Authority forces us to rely on it, and we can only fight back when we are aware of it. This peice promotes the awarness of censorship in our daily lives, encouring us to look around and educate ourselves about our ignorance. |
 |
| Title: Juxtaposition Description: When things are found in the trash, they're usually thought to be unwanted. But really, they just need someone to see their beauty - the beauty that neither their previous owners (or even they themselves) can see. Humans too can be thrown away by some...and then be found and cherished by others. |
