The Museum of Bad Art
I came across the excellent Museum of Bad Art (MoBA) while searching for an alleged exhibit of Ramayana miniatures in a Boston museum. Turns out Massachusetts contains even more cultural treasures than I'd realized. This is a must see. For those of us unfortunate New Yorkers who are unable to make it to Dedham, there are some excellent examples of Bad Art on view right now at the Whitney Biennial. Oh, and some Good Art, too. I think. So they say. Actually my favorite was the rotating chandelier movie projected at 48 frames per second, because you could go right up to the screen and scrutinize every detail, including the horizontal micro-scratches developing on the film loop running through the gate sideways, and you could scrutinize the high-end 48 fps projector too, since it's in the middle of the room - a real treat for film nerds like me.

Thanks for spreading the word about our Museum. We exist only because of the worldwide support of discriminating art lovers like you.
Yours in bad art,

Wonderful! I will certainly have to visit the Museum.
The Sitayana looks better all the time, Nina. And I see nothing wrong with Sita's build. She looks like a combination of ancient sculpture and Betty Boop.
