04.08.10: Mea Culpa
*Correction for my March 25th blog entry:

In that entry I quoted a MoMA curator without fact checking or asking permission — I'm learning journalism the hard way. Klaus Biesenbach wrote, correcting me, "Of course Lady Gaga is an artist."

To me, art is something you create and design. Art is an expression of yourself or some emotion you're feeling.

MoMA is a big commercial enterprise; their overpriced catalogue and gift shop reveal their strategy of turning modernism into consumer tchotchkes.
