Touchable Art?

Went to The Art Gallery Of NSW on the 13th since it was opposite The Domain which we went for Jazz In The Domain: Noite Brasil. Saw this piece of art. It was more of a collage and what caught my eye was how the artist used a fake set of teeth in his artwork. It was jutting out of the page and was like beckoning me to touch. I kinda forgot that you're not suppose to touch the work and succumbed to the temptation. Yes I touched it. Just once. Maybe twice. Then that dumba** worker there told me: "Don't touch the painting. You're not suppose to touch the painting. This painting is very expensive." Well dumba** worker with some beard, I have to respect you for being older, but if you paid so much for some dumb "painting" (I wouldn't really call it a painting except for the part where the artist drew something like boobs and a vagina, well at least they look like them) which just consist of lots of newspaper cuttings pasted on a big cardboard, well then maybe I should try to do "art" and sell it to idiots like you? If it's so expensive why didn't you get something that's made if high quality materials. A Mercedes will not be made from parts of Proton standard right? If it's so precious why didn't you just invest a little but more in setting up a plastic covering or a fence or something?Or even a sign to say "Don't Touch The Artwork." Morons.


Ok fine I have to admit I was wrong but it got me thinking, "is there art that you can touch?" I mean why must art only appeal to our eyes or ears. START SOMETHING NEW! Well maybe it does exist. Imagine art where you can feel the textures, or smell the fragrances. Well if you think food is art which is in my opinion. Whatever...

Current State: I want to download some Jazz.
