Venus of the Rags

This summer, I studied abroad in London. I went to a lot of art museums while I was there. I learned that there are a lot of naked statues in art museums, but this statue, in the Tate Modern, poked fun at all those statutes. It's called 'Venus of the Rags', after the famous 'Venus de Milo' in the Louvre, and is placed in front of a large pile of clothing. Even though art should express some idea and not just look nice, that doesn't necessarily mean it can't be fun too. It's a really cool experience to feel, as a viewer, like you're in on the artist's joke. I hope that some of the projects I make this semester are meaningful as well as enjoyable, or even funny, for the viewer.
