A lot of modern art makes me really really angry for exactly that reason. I had to go to a modern gallery in New York last year and in one room there was just a lot of coloured string tacked to the walls and ceiling and floor, and I think the part that was actually meant to be considered the "art" was the way the string made shapes in the space. But whatever. The thing that made me angriest was that when you looked at the little card beside the room with the string, the piece was called "Untitled 3". I mean, what?? If you're going to make a piece of "art" that nobody understands, at least have the decency to call it something better than "Untitled".

Also, at the same gallery, was a room full of white paintings on white canvas displayed on white walls. I think they were supposed to be about the experience of birth, but somehow... I just couldn't see it...
