As for discussion, I think it's great to have visual artists getting some recognition. Shows like this showed the world that being a model is more than being cute and skinny. Showed people that dancing isn't just moving around to a beat. Maybe artists can get a little respect and the world can see that it's not easy being an artist. We don't just scribble around and call it art.
