Vispo: Limited / No taste

Limited, RTomens, 2026

 

Yes, your understanding of visual poetry (or just this piece) may be limited (or comprehensive) - my understanding of this piece is...zero.  I don't profess to 'understand' what I make. How could I? Who's asking anyway? What is there to understand? We look at art -  we like/dislike. We're not sure...is it 'good'? Bad? I wonder if there's such a thing as bad art...

I have no taste. Is art appreciation a matter of taste rather than 'education'? Perhaps, ultimately. But yes, yes, one can be taught, in theory, to appreciate any form of art. Only...you can lead a horse to water but...

I literally have no taste and have had none for the last two days due to a cold. I can only be grateful for the small mercy of the timing because if I could not have tasted a mince pie over Christmas I would have been quite depressed. It's bad enough not being able to taste the coffee today. Eating becomes purely functional. Poor me...
