Artist Sneaks Painting into Gallery to Prove that Modern Art is Meaningless

UK-based artist Criatura wants people to understand that some modern art is meaningless.

To prove his point, the artist created an image of a tentacle with the words “this has no meaning” printed above it.

He then snuck the image into the Tate Modern, one of the UK’s biggest modern art galleries. After hanging it on the wall, he watched person after person stop to snap pictures and speak about the painting.

But, of course, it’s meaningless.

And instead of acknowledging that it was meaningless, people wanted to find meaning in it – which is how so much modern art is presented and digested.

While some art is created with meaning, other modern art is created lazily and leaves it up to the viewer to interpret – which does, in fact, make it meaningless.
