Want to know more about the Museum of Bad Art? Of course you do!
A little MOBA history
The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) is a community-based, private institution dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms and in all its glory.
MOBA was founded in the fall of 1993 and presented its first show in March 1994. The response was overwhelming. Since then, MOBA's collection and ambitions have grown exponentially.
Initially, MOBA was housed in the basement of a private home in Boston. This meager exhibition space limited the museum to being a regional cultural resource for the New England area.
As the only museum dedicated to bringing the worst of art to the widest of audiences we felt morally compelled to explore new, more creative ways of bringing this priceless collection of quality bad art to a global audience. Another Boston-area cultural institution, Dedham Community Theatre, generously allowed MOBA the use of their basement. Our first permanent gallery is now conveniently located just outside the men’s room in a 1927 movie theatre. The ambience created such a convivial atmosphere, that when we went looking for a second location, the only place that was up to our quality standards was another theatre basement. The Somerville Theater in Davis Square, Somerville MA is now our second gallery.
To this end, we now exhibit online (you found it!), publish an email newsletter called MOBA News, have a virtual gallery available on CD-ROM, and offer the popular book Museum of Bad Art : Art Too Bad To Be Ignored.
O think I’m going to need to work my way to the worm in the bottle of tequila to figure that one out. At least it doesn’t rely on the old NEA-pleasing standby mediums of elephant dung, urine and crucifixes. Is it just me or does this one seem to be a meth addict’s effort to pay homage to Barbara Streisand?
The figure in front of the White House of Utopia Island seems to be wondering about something. Perhaps he is wondering how he is supposed to spot incoming planes without his trusty little sidekick Tattoo to point them out for him, and with Biden not up to the job?
You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but only a liberal can believe Obama can screw a bear while dismounting a unicorn who picks bear noses at full gallop.
Hold on to that one- it may come in handy when Obama grants amnesty to all those illegals seeking high paying, full benefit art jobs Americans won’t do from Pelosi, or seeking opportunities to work at Barney Frank’s bordello.
HAHAHA! Wasn’t until the second look, that I noticed the bottle in Osurper’s hand! HAHAHA!
Brilliant!
