Usually we judge artwork by beauty (and whatever you define that to be), inherent message (the inside story, if you will), and how it connects to the audience. Some artists believe their work can also be found worthwhile without any of these qualities. Specifically, even if an art piece is untoward or appallingly unnecessary, it can have worth if it provokes people, or generates some kind of controversy in subsequent conversations. Here we have In His Infinite Wisdom. Damien Hirst achieves <>shock>< in his audience with a gestational anomaly and which he credits to god (or God or. ..). Brilliant. So, is this supposed to suggest an atheist point of view or are we actually blaming an extra leg on a calf on someone other than hormone-pumped heifers? Its unoriginal, midordinary and bland. OMG, there are freaky, sad and bad things in the world? How incredible.
