I hate this kind of thing:
So ist das eben mit der Kunst. Das, was man sieht, ist nicht das, was es ist. Und deswegen muss es erklärt werden. Müsste es nicht erklärt werden, wäre es vermutlich keine Kunst.
[That's just how it is with art. What you see isn't what really is. And that's why it has to be explained. If it didn't have to be explained, it probably wouldn't be art.]
From the Spiegel Online "review" of the RAF show. I would quote more of it, but it would probably make me ill to do so. It's fine, it might even be necessary, to write a negative critique of the exhibition (I haven't seen it, so I can't say). But do it with some class. Don't just use a snort of derision to mask your own ignorance. Ugh.
