Well Rome is a place of Art History, yes. But not contemporary works. Montreal is.
I went to the MACRO today, which is Romes' Contemporary Museum of Italian art. Boy, it wasn't that good. Only two pieces were kinda cool. I guess I'll just have to wait for the TATE Modern in London. The pieces were all Italian and all looked unfinished and like they had been done by second year college students. Nothing was meticulous and nothing was rendered. Fine, that's okey. But nothing was interesting either. They didn' push any bounderies.
However, I also went to two art galleris which were pretty darn intersting. The first one was way cool because it had works by artists exposed in Juxtapoz. So I saw original prints by Banksy (overated artist), Shepard Fairey (political OBEY artist), Supakitch and Audrey Kawasaki. The prints were all really cool but the one thing that sucked was how the weren't mounted properly. They weren' even flat! Art is practically sacred! Especially when it's good. And these are good works!
I want to be an Artist soooo bad. As soon as I get to Montreal I'm gonna submerge myself back into the scene.
