Bad Art, Bad Art, What You Gonna Do, What You Gonna Do When They Hang It On Your Wall?

jerezpayaso.jpgBad art is great... for you to poop near! It seems one Museum of Bad Art isn't enough to meet Massachusetts' demand for the utterly artless, so the Somerville Theatre is adding an installation of bad art near its downstairs restrooms. The next time you need to pee during a movie, take solace in the fact that even though you'll probably be missing the best part of the film, at least you'll have the chance to experience some remarkable artwork. Those who don't order large sodas and/or have bladders of steel will have something fascinating to look at while waiting in line for the facilities after the show.

The Museum of Bad Art's website is a treasure trove of art class projects gone awry and high-minded projects that didn't quite realize their initial vision. Wicked Local showcases a slightly "off" dog portrait that vaguely resembles Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (no cigar, though) and an amazing depiction of what seems to be a two-legged centaur guiding a Sox player to the plate. MOBA also has inspiring ruminations on fertility, amorous arboles, y tortugas tambien (it's Cinco de Mayo, people--we needed a little bit of Spanish all up in here).

Check out the new MOBA exhibits downstairs at the Somerville Theatre. Maybe someday you'll have your own Bob Ross imitations on display near where people do "business."
