OPUS #7: BAD ART
For Opus #7, we’re diving into the world of bad art—that enigmatic genre beyond logic, reason, and all rationality. What was Jerry Saltz even thinking when he said:
“I can learn as much from bad art as from good.”
Why do we claim to spot a “fake” bad artwork from a “real” one? And how, exactly, does one create a masterpiece of bad art?
We’re looking for:
- Artworks worthy of the Museum of Bad Art (yes, it exists).
- Poetry that could put William McGonagall to shame.
- Music that tests your patience … but still gets you high.
- Tributes to your favourite “worst” works and the strange joy they inspire.
- Writing that makes the average YA reader cringe and the densest prose writer reach for a dictionary.
Go on. Dare to be bad!
