ESL Podcast 894 – Understanding Modern Art(在线收听

   Stephan: What’s that?

  Livia: It’s my latest artwork. It’s experimental.
  Stephan: It’s, um...
  Livia: Abstract. It’s part of a performance art piece I’m putting together. It’ll really challenge people’s perceptions of reality.
  Stephan: I don’t really understand contemporary art. Is it supposed to represent something?
  Livia: It’s my interpretation of how the rich oppress the poor.
  Stephan: Really?
  Livia: Yes, from a postmodern perspective.
  Stephan: Oh, I see.
  Livia: You do?
  Stephan: No, not really. I don’t think I’m cut out for modern art. I prefer art to be representational. I just can’t wrap my head around this.
  Livia: That’s the point. It’s supposed to challenge you and make you think.
  Stephan: Well, it’s certainly made me think.
  Livia: It has?
  Stephan: Yeah, it’s made me realize that I’ve underrated paint-by-numbers all these years.
