Whatever, Will. You run the risk of your audience hating your art whenever you exhibit it. I've already shared my reasons for dislike on this piece known.
Then again, I could have suggested that we all do a group hug and sing "Kumbayah" in the spirit of togetherness, which seems to be what you suggest. But that option went out the windown as soon as my objections were classified as unintelligent and uninformed.
The audience has no responsility other than to react. If the artist wants to avoid negative reactions, then he should make that clear. Here, we were lied to from the beginning - not exactly a way to engender kind feelings from an audience.
And I object to catagorizing my remarks as "snide". I haven't been nasty, flippant, derogatory or derisive.
