I am still "doing the effort" and go to the gallery (because I think it is ok to the artist who made the exhibition) and all I see is a bunch of artists who make some kind of arrogant and egoistic work giving nothing back to me as a visitor...
Some artists will speak to you, some won't. Nothing wrong with that, is just like music, I cringe when I hear MGMT on the radio, but some people love it. Same works for visual art.
If you really want to go deep:
You are saying: " all I see is a bunch of artists who make some kind of arrogant and egoistic work giving nothing back to me as a visitor..."
Perhaps that's the message, arrogance and egocentrism, (blame myspace/ facebook for that) the lack of message could be THE MESSAGE, now ...
The important thing is to keep an open mind, maybe research about the show before going too, but consider all this work that you don't like, a way to make the piece that you like more valuable, if you liked everything that was out there, then none of it would stand out to you, everything would be at the same level, rendering everything meaningless (sprinkle that on the pipe too)
