Similarly, I find museums of modern art very soothing. They’re kind of like McDonalds: their basic floorplan is uniform worldwide (white walls, high ceilings, hardwood floors, bemused guards), and the collections have some old standards and some quirky local flavor.
I did not attend the Hito Steyerl Factory of the Sun video presentation (multi-media/video game/light show/pulsating music with beach chair seating) because I was pleasantly full of Pollock and didn’t want to give myself artistic indigestion. I know when to quit.
The analogy ends there. When I leave MacDonald’s I do not feel that I have done something that benefits my soul. Or my triglycerides. But when I leave a modern art museum, I do.
