The sights and sounds of Betoota Old and New Art (BONA) have failed to impress a local arts student today, with the spritely youngster labelling the gallery’s content as being ‘mostly derivative shit.’
With O-Week still working itself out of his pores, Alastair Lovell went on the attack this afternoon shortly after arriving back from his class excursion to the South Betoota Polytechnic College.
“I could’ve done anything in that gallery, it’s that derivative,” he sighed.
He stretched the fore and middle fingers on both hands in preparation for some air quotes.
“I didn’t get half of the ‘artworks’ in that ‘gallery’, either! It was like, ‘weird’ for the sake of being ‘weird’ like give me a break,”
“God, why even bother. I should’ve just joined the army.”
The Advocate reached out to the 19-year-old’s teachers for comment but as it was already past 2, they’d knocked off for the day.
More to come.
