one thing me n my art loving gf would do is visit galleries and play a game calledย โroot, loot or bootโย
the gist is that you would look at a group of paintings in a room and decide which figure in the painting youโd root (fuck, in Australian slang), which painting youโd loot (steal and put on your wall at home) and which painting youโd boot (punt into the garbage because itโs shit and Not Art)
a couple of things about my experiences:
1. this game is a lot more fun if youโre attracted to women because thereโs so many Hot Gals to choose fromย
2. if you are attracted to men, you will spend a lot of time goingย โwell, looks like Iโll have to pick jesus againโ as my bi gf did
3. it gets more complicated in modern art museums and you find yourself having saying,ย โIโd fuck the rhombusโย โyou CANโT fuck the rhombusโย โthen Iโll fuck that blue squiggle thing. whatโs it called?โย โcreeping existential dread in blueโย โthen does that mean Iโm fucking the squiggle or am I getting fucked by the existential dread it represents?โย โarenโt we all already getting fucked by existential dread?โ
4. if you play this with an art history nerd, they may decide to kill you over one of yourย โbootโ choices
5. you will get Disapproving Looks from other patrons who overhear your heated debates
6. itโs also the best fun youโll ever have in an art gallery
