I'm sure I'll get serious abuse from some beret wearing Frenchmen, but here goes.
I'm not a contemporary art fan. I find it serves little purpose, which is why I much favor design over art.
Designers being problem solvers, being given a brief and working towards a solution, which helps improve the experience or speed of a process/interaction etc etc and more so the amount of people good design can have an impact on OR how it can change industries. That's way more difficult than creating a piece sitting in an exhibition which really does nothing and means little.
However really skilled traditional art stuff like a stunning oil painting, an incredible drawing or a good sculpture, that shit is great. It takes some real skill and some real craft. But some smashed plates in the middle of a room that symbolizes x y z? Errr no thanks. I sometimes think these people couldn't hack it as designers so became artists to do whatever they want. Rant.
