It's boggling my mind. How the hell do you make this and how did they get it in the museum?

Oh and for Tender: The card nearby said the artist was Austrian.

It's a deconstructed Dump Truck.... FYI, Hitler produced better art than that.

I'm not really familiar with all the terms for various styles and whatnot, but I do really dig the modern art stuff at the Walker Art Center. More abstract, yet more interesting than just a painting of a person or landscape or something.

I get why someone would like it but it doesn't do much for me.

I like a lot of modern and contemporary art, including stuff that looks like this, but for whatever reason this particular piece just ain't doing much for me.

Eh, Freedom Art anyway, on principle.

I'm the same, tho this is better than the vast majority of modern art.

FA. It caught me by surprise, kept my attention, and got me to crack a smile. Art can work for me when it takes something ordinary, but makes it out-of-the-ordinary. In this case, I was drawn to think of some of the MC Escher impossible geometries.

Degenerate art of the haute bourgeoisie of late-stage capitalism/last stages of modernity in the Spenglerian model of history.

There's better stuff at the Walker, but it's not as easy to just appreciate in photos, probably my favorite piece there now is a wall with a black and white background of a forest in northern Minnesota with images of people from the metro over time transposed over it, including some Tea Party protester, an Occupy Wall Street one, some hipsters, and some people from the 30s and 40s. I took a picture in panorama view but it's still hard to appreciate with it.

The famous garden near the Walker though with the iconic spoon and cherry is a great thing that anyone can enjoy though.

Like most things "postmodern" or contemporary, it's basically meaningless and pointlessly odd.

I suppose for something offbeat, I'll take something like "Time Transfixed."
