Thanks, I hate it

By I'm Trading Up For A Dog - 14/12/2014 20:28 - Finland - Pori

Today, I finished a painting I'd spent 3 weeks working on for an exhibition. When I came back from lunch, my cat was perched above it on my desk. He looked at me, then down at the painting, then jumped down onto it. He slipped and smeared the wet paint everywhere, ruining the whole thing. FML

I guess you can still submit it as modern art

Needs more info for me to know whether or not this would be appropriate, but it seems to me it's still rescuable... I'd stick to your guns and exhibit it, tweak your statement and be honest about what happened. It is after all a perfect illustration of the inherent uncertainty in this world, and that even things you expect to be permanent can turn out quite ephemeral. Don't BS around it, just allow the incident to make you think about the connotations and metaphor surrounding the destruction of an artwork by an oblivious cat, then write about it. -- Your friendly neighborhood art student :P

You can eat the cat. If you're planning on killing it

Why did you leave it somewhere the cat could ruin it
