Ah, but the museum isn't doing the art. It's bringing in the artists and saying Go ahead, draw on my wounds.

Some muses are not a-mused (NSFW).
Is it art?
It's Democrat America -- things all boarded up and looking like crap in a near war zone.
It seems to me that today art is that which is created to convey an approved message. If it conveys an unapproved message it needs to be destroyed. It used to be, ironically enough, that an image of an un-approved message was more arty than that of an approved message. In essence the un-approved was the approved. The people who once approved of the un-approved are now in the position to dis-approve the un-approved. Which is to say, one person's art is another person's violence and it all depends on whether it was created by a Hutu or a Tutsi.
When this is all over, they'll take the plywood down, frame it, and hang it on the walls.
FBI reports that the noose found in Bubba Wallace's garage was a pull rope that had been there since last year.
Why was "Exulting in the inculcation of a 5-year-old" applied to only one of those classical examples of neo-infantilistic bed wetting and not to all of them? Credit should be given where credit is due.
That's cute. Seems less "rioty" and "boarded-uppy" that way.
This is the first time that NAACP's black whore... hole? has been observed. Social progress.
It’s a good thing all the museums are closed. Imagine what they would do to paintings and statues in the museums.
We don't don't have a lot going for us in Indianapolis...except we HAD and extremely nice downtown until about 3 weeks ago. Now everything at ground level for a 6 block radius around Monument Circle is destroyed. Mayor(D) and governor(R) did nothing to stop the destruction, except the idiot mayor declared a 8PM - 6AM county-wide curfew for a week which was completely ignored by everyone except law-abiding citizens and the businesses they own. For example, my 17-year-old daughter who lifeguards at a private pool (which the mayor deigned to allow to be open) had to come home early every night and lose work to abide by the 8PM curfew. (Note it's light here until nearly 10PM in the summer.) Meanwhile, protesters downtown completely ignored the curfew every night and met no response from the city. The governor hid in his mansion during the entire disgraceful spectacle.
The current solution to all the destruction downtown is to paint all the plywood with works of art, which sounds nice except that most of the artworks are amateur depictions that preach at me about what a racist I am (I, by the way, happen to be a white guy). Not a very inviting environment, especially a city whose main public revenue source (other than the cancelled Indy 500) is a formerly brisk convention business. I also am convinced that the plywood is going nowhere soon since to remove it would be ...
Now we're told that (surprisingly!) the county government is facing a revenue shortfall and will likely need to raise taxes (again) this year. Hard to imagine revenue shortfalls when you allow the core of the small business community to be destroyed. If there's a more anti-business mayor than the idiot in Indianapolis I'll gladly eat my hat.
Hard to see how this will end well in Marion County Indiana. d
When nothing else is left, art is all you got left.
its religious art
I hope the city of Madison never reopens.
The people who live there voted for this.
I say let them have what they wanted.
I am a giver.
This will look like shit the longer it stays up as taggers and other low lifes scribble all over it. But it does provide the rest of us comedic relief as the lefties pretend they actually prefer living in a slum over what they used to have.
Well, Well. It turns out, unexpectedly of course, that the noose in the NASCAR room was bullshit. It was just a rope door handle that has been there sine Oct. 2019, long before anyone knew who would get assigned that room. The FBI sent 15 agents to investigate this brain fart. Our nation is full of people who have lost their fucking minds over race. A problem throughout history, but which has never been less of a real problem in any nation anywhere at anytime in history than here and now. Black people have never been safer or had more opportunities anywhere anytime, including and especially Africa today. Calm your asses down, people Stop, think, question, and think again. Isn't this nation and our communities worth at least that little effort? There is no boogieman. That shadow in the corner is just a shadow. Turn the lights on before you dive out the damn window.
I would like to know more about the art. Is it 1/2" or 3/4". Home Depot or Menard's?
This is a revival of Soviet Realism, yes?
Graffiti is the new "art."
"I think of the writer tortured to write in Stephen King's "Misery."
Maybe when the rioters return they can burn the product, too.
The national gallery of art in DC will have to let minority artists spray paint over the white European art.
When I was 5 I had to walk to kindergarten by myself and I was told that a policeman would help me if I was lost. According to the plywood art 5 year olds are now taught in the intellectual city of Madison, that policemen will divide you up between black and white, and kill all the black kids. What kind of a nation will we see in 20 years. Hopefully the children will rebel against their parents.

Picture is from 2019, but rope may have been there longer, but no earlier photo readily available. Most other garages had same style rope attached to garage doors.
To riff on a comment above, "Art is just another word for nothing left to loot."
It occurs to me that you could paralyze federal law enforcement by buying a thousand feet of rope, and leave fake nooses everywhere you go.
Looks like a third world shithole. Thanks democrats.
Propaganda for the masses.
That is art and farts are a symphony.
Art is whatever you say it is. Good art creates an emotional reaction. Virtually all political art sucks because it is obvious, simplistic, unimaginative, predictable, and (usually) amateurish.
Some of the work in your photos doesn't suck.
Um, no. Let them dive out the damned window. And let's get behind Trump's
EO providing for fines and imprisonment for destroying or defacing statues with an exemption for those modern efforts that offend the eye.
But lets shut everything down

All Art Must Be Made To Serve The Revolution!
There's nothing original in any of this. Nothing. This is the same re-hashing of the left-wing fantasies of the 20th C that ended up with 100 million dead bodies.
Nobody's doing "Nuance" here. Let's not pretend otherwise.
I am so completely sick of all of this. The more it get pushed at me, with all the "pretty little signs' and canned slogans, the less I care. Sick of it.
Fake hate crimes. Violence that ruins the lives of innocent people. Cities and history destroyed. Dancing on the ashes of other peoples lives. No deviation from the thought police.
Is race a real thing. Sure. Is there bigotry. Yes ...on ALL sides. Are there bad people out there? Yes. There are good people too....but they don't count. Do reforms in police departments need to be made. Yes.
And what? We are all supposed to grovel at the feet of some unknown amorphous group of people because someone somewhere in a time unknown did some bad things? Flagellate ourselves because a century and half ago slavery was finally officially ended? Slavery by people hundreds of years ago.....which many of us including the victims of the current violence had no connection.
Silence is violence? Well...they'd better hope that some of us remain silent because the alternative is going to be very loud and not nearly as pretty as those signs tacked up on other people's property.
Geriatric possessive or White people possessive "our"?
Trick question: All whites (yes even those stupid little white babies) are racists who think and feel they possess everything they see, especially black bodies.

And diversity liars (pun intended). Tell them that the rope is attached to a duck that lays golden eggs.
"To riff on a comment above, "Art is just another word for nothing left to loot.'"
Ha.
Andy Warhol famously said, “Art is what you can get away with.” That quote seems to perfectly encapsulate the murals on MMoCA. In times past, no one would dare permit the sophomoric screeds slapped on the sides of a museum or storefront. But in the future, no one will dare permit their removal. Madison, welcome to the Left's favorite period, The New Normal.
Very triggering.
"Is it art? That's a boring old question, but is art made under duress art?"
Is law made under duress law?
Is justice made under duress justice?
Is politics made under duress politics?
Comrade Stalin looks up from hell and smiles at his American grandchildren. Socialist realism art.
IIRC, some jurisdictions have made it unlawful for building owners to paint over "street art",formerly known as graffiti, because it's art. And now these same cities are allowing modern day barbarians to tear down art they disapprove of, without consequence. With many Democrat, let me emphasize, DEMOCRAT, politicians cheering them on.
Isn't Madison Wisconsin named after a man whos family owned over 100 slaves? Interesting.
I am pretty sure that it is Bob Marley/Bunny Livingstone/Peter Tosh whom we can thank for the entry of the Isaiah passage, “Stone that the builder refused...” into current popular culture:

Not art. I kind of like the last one though. It reminds me of Funkadelic's Cosmic Slop. Inner city version of steal your face. Fantastic. Guy was from Chicago, died recently.
Tedious. Now I've seen all the Negro art I need to see for, say, six months or so.
Howard: "Very triggering."
Just wait until a helo flies overhead!

That's not a starry sky.
That's a hard vacuum.
I notice there's a lot of space in that black woman's noggin, but no evidence of brain.
Is that me being a racist? Or the artist?
If it weren't by fucking, where would the virgins come from?
Eyesores. Really horrible display of talentless doodling. Embarrassing that it is encouraged, sanctioned, praised. It is crap on stilts.
Although I suppose in its own way is a perfect memorial for the dead criminal now sainted in an ugly and amateurish way.
The art curators must tolerate this because BLM perspectives cannot be criticized in such circles. But I bet this defacement secretly drives them crazy.
So most Democrat controlled areas in the country have been turned into a 3rd world shit holes where you have plywood windows and shootings are skyrocketing.
I am sure this bodes well for them getting elected.
I do not want to think about the evil in a person's heart that would allow them to "create art" under such violent circumstances.
How is it expected for a society to move in a desired direction and to "heal" when those that are driving all of this have based their entire movement/protest/riots on lies? None of this is about justice (as that is ALREADY in progress) and the ONLY change these people want is for them to now be in charge. Same rules, just different rulers.
Why board up the museum? I was told that adding your own "art" to existing "art" is a smart, authentic way to have a conversation across time and culture. The brave, progressive thing to do would be to open the doors and to keep them open, unguarded, 24 hours a day. For art!
