What I've loved so far about this show is that none of the critique has been "it's ugly". It's all about, "This fails to either convey the message you intended, or you failed to develop your idea beyond some simple notion into something actually meaningful."
It's easy to look at art that is of an aesthetic you don't appreciate and dismiss it. What the show has done a great job of so far is to really show the difference between art that has a strong sense of idea, message, and purpose, vs. art that's just slapped together without vision. For the most part that distinction been pretty clear through the processes of each artist and through the final pieces. Great job.
