This certainly is offensive, isn't it? We'd better be nice to those Muslims because they're certainly nice to us.
I’m sick of the annual “Islamic art” exhibitions in the art museums with nothing challenging the theocratic system, the misogyny, the genocide, the child abuse, the discrimination, etc.
Nope, it’s all about the wonder of Islam, diversity, and the evil imperialist West.
There WAS more to the Middle East than Islam, once upon a time. Why don’t academics and art mavens bother to listen to THOSE voices?
I look at that and see a lot of “ready made” art that has been brought into an assemblage.
The artist did not design the shoes, weave the rugs, or design/construct the building.
I see repeated patterns and that’s about it.
I doubt Dali would’ve approved either.
