Been to Tate Modern today ? - uurrgghhh?

Am I alone in thinking the Tate Modern is a bit boring and sad?

Went with an open mind but was gobsmacked at the sheer amount of dross in there - and badly made dross at that!

Is everyone drooling over 'modern art' just playing 'Emperor's New Clothes'?

    i totally agree, my parents dragged me round there a couple of years ago and i just thought it was a complete waste of time. one piece of art was just a piece of material with a cut through it and i was just thinking "i did this when i was 2, how can it be called art?!?"

    Damn! You've rumbled it! Yes, I am inclined to agree with you, especially when I see things like the carbuncular sculpture proposed for the 2012 Olympic site .... you know .... the tape-worm thing. Lack of talent seems no barrier.

    It's all about marketing yourself as an artist. Even if the art is bad.

    ya, i agree with you.

    bit of a disappointment.
