one thing me n my art loving gf would do is visit galleries and play a game calledĀ āroot, loot or bootāĀ
the gist is that you would look at a group of paintings in a room and decide which figure in the painting youād root (fuck, in Australian slang), which painting youād loot (steal and put on your wall at home) and which painting youād boot (punt into the garbage because itās shit and Not Art)
a couple of things about my experiences:
1. this game is a lot more fun if youāre attracted to women because thereās so many Hot Gals to choose fromĀ
2. if you are attracted to men, you will spend a lot of time goingĀ āwell, looks like Iāll have to pick jesus againā as my bi gf did
3. it gets more complicated in modern art museums and you find yourself having saying,Ā āIād fuck the rhombusāĀ āyou CANāT fuck the rhombusāĀ āthen Iāll fuck that blue squiggle thing. whatās it called?āĀ ācreeping existential dread in blueāĀ āthen does that mean Iām fucking the squiggle or am I getting fucked by the existential dread it represents?āĀ āarenāt we all already getting fucked by existential dread?ā
4. if you play this with an art history nerd, they may decide to kill you over one of yourĀ ābootā choices
5. you will get Disapproving Looks from other patrons who overhear your heated debates
6. itās also the best fun youāll ever have in an art gallery
