I don't know much about art but

I remember seeing this in the Tate at Liverpool, which at least made me smile.

I love modern art, but probably not in the way the artists intended. I recall walking around Tate Modern and absolutely creasing up laughing at some of the exhibits and the little plaques they put up explaining the piece and what's behind it. My personal favourite was a glass of water on a shelf which they called 'The Oak Tree' and had a framed interview with the artist where he explained why the glass of water was now an oak tree. Hilarious stuff.

Are you sure you weren’t looking at the exhibits from the residents of a mental institution

I'm with you there, did the Tate in Liverpool a few years back, the first gallery downstairs were guest exhibits or something. First was 12 pieces of A4 paper all in different solid colours like an oblong rainbow along the wall, gain a plaque explaining the artisits thought process. I know what it was.."I'll just colour these in, say something 'profound' and they'll fall for it" - seems he was right

Next was a TV playing a video on loop of various people walking into a white room and vomiting on the floor. Thought provoking for sure

Often go to the Tate modern in London and there is stuff on there that you simply think "why". It usually has a pretentious title or context as if to justify it. I guess it is all in the eye of the beholder.
