I generally dislike the artist and (most) of the art. The artist are holier than thou types. They give the distinct impression that they feel they are better than you in everyway. Also, their pretty damn dumb/annoying.
As for the art, I feel most of it is just silly. The one time i visited i saw exhibits such as a 2 litter soda bottle hung from the roof, and 20 big metal blocks.. That takes very little talent, and it seems like a pseudo art to me.
If its your cup of tea, cool. But I dont really like it, and the "chinants" (chinanti people) alienate the people in the area really easily.
PS, I actually quite like Judd

Was it a nose bleed? I saw that girl up front, she had an awful nose bleed and then later on she passed out.
