Thankfully, my partner and I had free invitations....... we nearly ran out to puke! Sorry for any 'corns' stepped on by that comment, but most of the pics really didn't appeal. Each to their own. Does 'not liking it'/'not getting it'/'finding it inaccessible' etc, reflect more on the viewer or on the alleged artist? Does it matter? If you don't like it or understand it, then you should be able to express that distaste without any fear of embarrassment. Personally I find there are just so many great images that DO move me, there is never any 'lack' or 'loss' from those that appear ordinary, useless, empty, or fatuous. Ross.
