The Minnesota Vikings Punter went to MIA.
Did I even write these critiques? Or is someone feeding me lines, subverting a trusted origin of information? #youllneverknow, #morereal

Or do we value the idea of art, the emotions it evokes, no matter where those emotions come from? @artsmia, #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Do we value the physical provenance itself, a traceable line of acquisition dating back to the original artist? @artsmia, #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Do we value the visual, the physical medium of paint on canvas? @artsmia, #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Or, is Muniz asking us what we consider the true nature of authenticity? @artsmia, #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Our last artist, Vik Muniz, doesn't really know how this "art" thing works. You show the front of the canvas, not the back. Dummy. @artsmia
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Ooh, I actually got this one right! Well, except for the fact the artist is Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle. Can't win em all. @artsmia, #morereal

The next piece at @artsmia is by Iñigo Montoya, and it's about how Saddam Hussein's rejection of Bush Sr. caused Dubya to seek revenge.

I guess I'll also repetitively use "I guess", at least, oh, I guess four more times. #imaguesscritic, #PUNS
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
I guess Lederer just technically proved video games are art with his @artsmia exhibit. I'll allow it. #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Sigh @cettdu correcting me yet again. I guess the layering of visual syntaxes forces us to confront where one trope ends and another begins.
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Artist number five, Joel Lederer, is calling his Second Life screenshots "art". Hey! That means I'm an artist too! @artsmia, #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
They're correcting me again, but I'm sticking with plastic vomit on this one. Sorry @artsmia, just not seeing it here. #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Next up, Bertrand Lavier, looks to be a student of the "vomiting out incomprehensible polyurethane pieces" school. @artsmia, #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
I thought for sure "storage unit" was the right answer to that last one. Don't worry, I still have 4 left to figure this critic thing out.
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Dang it, wrong again. Apparently Dion's exhibit is about how today's museums demonstrate art rather than seduce with it. @artsmia, #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Our third artist at @artsmia, Mark Dion, might be the smartest person I've seen. He put his storage unit on display, and gets paid for it!
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Hold up, being corrected again. Apparently the provenance of art doesn't matter, but whether or not it makes you think. @artsmia, #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Next up is Zoe Beloff, whose @artsmia exhibit looks to consist of schlocky tourist crap arranged as a mockumentary. C. Guest did it better.

So it looks like the Chinese government is the 3 year old, and #aiweiwei is pointing that out to us by mimicking them. @artsmia, #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
Wait, they're informing me it's possible his works point to the traumatic cultural destruction of Chinese history by the government instead.
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
And yes autocorrect, that's "Ai", not "Al". Slight difference, you worthless program.
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
One of the first artists at @artsmia is Ai Weiwei, who apparently does art like a 3 year old. Smashing priceless urns? 3 year old. #morereal
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
HOWEVER, since we're talking about modern art, I don't have to play by the rules, so I'm going to tweet them out NOW! #takethatestablishment
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) March 22, 2013
So I was supposed to tweet some stuff last night for the #morereal exhibit at @artsmia, but I passed out on the couch like an asshole.
