What would it take to shock you?

Is it still possible for art to be shocking?

  1. raksak answered: you cant……….. I’m too insane
  2. tothemarrow answered: Yes of course it can. Art often reveals hidden injustices in the world.
  3. rerylikes answered: Yes. Sometimes the concept, other time the image (e.g. violence), often the art market…
  4. hikikomorichan answered: i think it is still possible, but it won’t be possible for me to describe what it take, since if i can describe it, it won’t be shocking.
  5. justement answered: I think I’d be shocked even today by what was the public’s reaction to Mariana Abromovic’s Rhythm 0. Otherwise no - sex & religion - yawn.

  9. kimtomacruz answered: Yes, it is. I get shocked when a piece has a strong concept. Or if it integrates a lot of ideas and connects them well.
