There seems to be a trend brewing, called "Destructive Art".
For a recent gallery show in London, Michael Landy installed a huge glass
tank and invited people to toss in their "creative failures".
The South London Gallery website offered an explanation of the various
notions the installation represented, ending with "and [...it] makes reference to the
derision with which contemporary art is sometimes treated." ... hmmm ...
I personally prefer art that lifts the spirit. With all the bleakness and destruction that exists in the world ... why strive to create more?
