The Museum of Bad Art

MOBA, short for the Museum of Bad Art, is one very “special” place. The small museum located in the basement of  an old Massachussets home exhibits the worst art you can find over yonder…collecting and celebrating “art” in all its glory. But really, what is art? Who is to judge? If it’s “bad”, does that mean it isn’t real art? I’m sure whoever created this so-called art was proud of it, right? Well MOBA is proud to find its pieces on street corners, dumpsters, thrift shops, and most of all MOBA is a thankful receiver of “bad art” donations. I really like this piece below. I actually really do like it….because it is SO bad, it’s just SO, SO good! Don’t you see an MJ resemblance here?

Here is the (AWESOME) description provided by MOBA’s own website:

This disturbing work “makes an offer you can’t refuse”. The chilling, matter-of-fact manner in which the subject presents the severed head to us is a poignant reminder of just how numb we have become. The understated violence implicit in the scene speaks volumes on our own desensitization, our society’s reflexive use of force, and the artist’s inability to deal with the hindquarters of the animal.
