…can we stop calling crap like this, “art?”
Gay Israeli artists seek Arabs to fall in love with

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Two gay Israeli men have installed a huge double bed in a New York art gallery and are inviting Arab men to become their “lover” as part of an exhibition called “Sleeping with the Enemy.”
But the artists who like to be known simply as Gil and Moti talk about the project in romantic terms, saying it’s about “falling in love” rather than sex. Gil said visitors should not come to the show expecting to see pornography.
“The bed is there for us to live in. Artistically there are three pillows to symbolize unity of three people which goes along with the whole concept of make love not war,” he said.
Sigh…
You know, I don’t care that they’re gay. I don’t care that they’re Arab / Israeli. I just have to wonder… What makes it “art?”
Is there some great cosmic joke about art that I’m just not getting or something?
Gotta be. Just gotta be.
