- Why is modern art so weird and why is there a framed grocery receipt in the museum? Let's look into the history of art and how we went from the Mona Lisa to a banana being taped to a wall... and why contemporary art has more to it than meets the eye.
Hello! Long time no see! I hope you are all well I missed you guys.
I've been away mostly because I took a break from UA-cam to focus on resting and recovering. I'm back now to try and give this a full go.
I was in the museum when I saw a receipt framed on a wall and I thought 'wow... cost of living crisis'. But also in general I'm tired of walking around a museum with Justin Bieber lyrics going through my head like 'what do you mean'.
I read Ways Of Seeing by John Berger and How To Understand Art to try and understand art and it kinda helped but not much.
Instead, exploring the history and evolution of art and how exactly we got to this point in time was so much more illuminating. We also uncover the hidden meanings behind some of the most weird contemporary / modern art pieces that makes you go 'I could do that' and why it's nice that everything's a little weird and actually, some of them don't have any hidden meanings at all and that's okay too.
What are your opinions on contemporary art pieces?

I think a lot art is poking fun at elitism, but the art is presented in elitist circles, thus making it elitist as well. On top of that, the artist benefits from the elitism so it seems a bit like hypocrisy.
G stands for “girl you’ve been gone for too long”
i know i'm sorry i was in prison (my own mind)
@@itsdivyag real
The fact that more than one hundred years later, Duchamp's urinal is still so controversial, shows his genius.
i did chuckle after thinking about
1 the concept of using an unsused urinal as fountain (considering it'd work)
2 the whole thing being a test of the membership
this was SUCH a good video! i find it really troubling to see people falling into anti-intellectualism because they feel rejected from these artistic spaces, when to me the solution isn't rejecting them in turn and disregarding them wholesale, but rather improving the access people have to art, and giving them the tools necessary to develop their own opinions about it and create their own artworks. confusion should not be feared, but embraced, and used as kindling for curiosity and discussion! saying 'i don't understand this piece' shouldn't be the end of the conversation, but its start!
i totally agree and i love this perspective so much thank you for sharing. art in all its forms (movies/tv/music/poetry etc.) isn't always the most logical which i feel turns people away. and for some it's hard for them to understand the point of creative expression.
This reminds me that one time I said I didn't like a sculpture (I thought it was weird) and my uncle tried really hard to explain it's possible meaning to me, just for my child self to still not get it and call it ugly. He must've been so proud of me
sticking to ur truth
To me it feels like "provocative" art installations like the banana or the pile of sand are just trying to emulate Duchamp and ask the same questions he asked. I've heard that Duchamp's intent was just to provoke emotions and disrupt, and it made sense in the context of the avant-garde and breaking new pathways into art - and also, the social context of the turn of the century, the First World War, etc. However, now that those kind of pieces are actually more mainstream that traditional art, and no longer avant-garde, to me it just feels like the artist is completely removed and disconnected for the world and just wants to cash in and make something they know will sell for a lot.
I saw a video once that compared dadaism to shitposting, and that was one of the most eyeopening experiences in my life.
ok but I saw this one person in FB comments who dedicated their everything in defending the banana because "it redefines our very concept of art" and I'm like my guy it's a fruit on a frame stop calling ppl dumb for not liking it
once at an art museum i visited there was a piece which was a video on an ipad-like screen, stuck to some sort of ceiling pipe so you had to look up, and the video was like 10 or 15 minutes of the artist trying to peel an egg of its shell without breaking the sac inside it. me and my friends got quite invested and were happy when she made it in the end, but i still have no idea what i was supposed to take away from that experience
ahh this was so interesting and well edited! I think you wrapped it up so well, sometimes you like a piece of art because it speaks to you but sometimes you just like it just cause, without gaining any meaning from it :)
thank u so much i appreciate it lots. and yes deffo!
this is such a good video but i can't stop thinking about how you went vaguely australian for all the quotes 😭
practising for if i ever meet cate blanchett
Hands down, you're the best metaphor there is! 😛 I was CRACKING UP about the scenario when Gregg's was in front of the sand. Great concept and I find it thoughtful but it's also hilarious!
Glad that you're enjoying your content.
ishaaa thank u for watching this and i appreciate ur thoughts
the animations in this one ARE ART
this is such an interesting and insightful video and the editing is on point. you can tell you put a lot of time and effort into creating this :)))
thank u so so much i really appreciate it
Love your videos, they’re so informative and funny
DIVYA YOUR BACK best early eid present i could thank for! ur editing is absolutely beautiful smashing british adjectives that feel museum-y that convey my absolutlute exaltation at ur return!
omg eid mubarak even tho its like hella month late lmaooo this was so sweet tysm i appreciate u
You're back!
i might just try and find a plastic bandana and recreate the thing
do it pls post results n keep us updated to the journey to the art circle
I haven’t finished the vid yet, and idk if Divya has said this, but the Io Sono “sculpture” shown at 1:35 was sold for €15K!!! Someone spend that much money on NOTHING!! We truly live in a society! One of the societies of all time! 😩😓🤦🏻♂
Excellent video well edited I like your voice you talk a lot but you don't talk too much and I gained something from your presentation
I like it cuz it's slightly quirky but not silly and you put your personality into it
the "I just wanna touch the sand" moment was Relatable. I went to an expona few months ago of an Italian guy who made art to be played with and the Urge To Touch It was so strong 😬
YOU'RE BACK AHHHHH
MISSED U ALL
That weewee bowl is available in an Ikea near you for only £9999.99
This was impeccable
I haven’t finished this yet but, a couple months ago an artist visited my community college and explained his life story and showed off his art. And it changed my view of art. He was a wrongfully convicted man and he used art to express his life story. I would consider his art modern and I found it interesting how he would explain the meaning of his pieces.
I feel like I’m ready to appreciate art, thanks Ms G
haha thank u so much for taking the time to watch
Luv u so much uuuugghh glad ur back 😺😺😺😺
Brilliant video and hilarious. Some of my art was on television on a screen more massive than the Mona Lisa so I’m very proud of that 🥰🥰
I'm kind of an artist myself (performing artist, to be exact), and I don't understand art either. 😅
aaaaaa I love this channel :))))
I would like to know what happens to the minds of others when they go to a modern art museum.
5:15 this killed me
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I was crackin up whenever u said wee wee bowl
Great video, Divya! Did you see that the banana got eaten again in Seoul by a hungry art student? 😆

Editing Divya scares me
editing divya has nothing to lose
People of today have so much information at their finger tips that it is harder to appreciate something was once an original idea that amazed the audience on first viewing. It is almost people come with the assumption these once original ideas are the norm. Something they would of discovered readily themselves or in their generation.
However if you imagine very back in time like the stone age. It would seem every idea, thought and behaviour we learn is just a copy of another person. That divergence is rare. The reality we are still the same people mostly copying others most of the time. Yet there is so much information available that if you mixed different ideas together without much thought it would seem automatically original just because the sheer amount of inputs and influences readily available. We have copied to try not to copy. Is there a further human conscience than that?
At least the banana will rot…performance art at its best.
This is an art It's Ph-art
I saw this garbage in Miami Beach art shows back in the later '90s and I already saw what silly crap it is
Wasn't there some guy in Spain who starved a dog to death in a museum and it was supposed to be a work of art??

SHOULD I BRING THE HUGS BACK
Div Sheraan?😂😂
i was so lucky to be able to book them to do the cover for me x
wow so delicious
👀 ayyy
Well art has went down hill then.
Contemporary art = wannabe troll philosophers playing make believe artists.
I once saw a canvas just painted red on sale for $10,000. Why can't those climate activists vandalize those? They'd finally be doing society a favour.
the point of climate activism is to draw attention to their cause by attacking culturally relevant art. not that I agree with them, but attacking art nobody cares about would defeat the purpose they're aiming for.
The "what is art?" stuff was great in 1917, but if that's the whole point of your art in this day and age you're actually just extremely derivative. So much of the 20th century was concerned with exactly that and all of these things like the banana on the wall and totally white canvasses are just trying to get back to that while offering nothing else - nothing new, nothing visually pleasing, and nothing moving other than the same irritation people felt a hundred years ago. "Provocative" art isn't that provocative if it doesn't innovate.
