Meetings: the bane of productivity. The nemesis of creativity. The constant reminder that you'll never, ever, ever be on time.
10 Ways to Say It Again in the Style of Fine Art
1. The Monet
Just as Monet's water lilies are a series of repeated, yet subtly different, strokes of brushstrokes, so too can you rephrase the same idea in a meeting, each stroke a tiny variation on a theme.
2. The Pollock
Like Pollock's chaotic splatter paintings, a good meeting attendee can splatter a room with a cacophony of rephrased requests, each one a tiny, insignificant variation on the same old idea.
3. The Koons
Koons's Balloon Dog, a masterpiece of repetition, can be seen as a metaphor for the meeting attendees' constant repetition of the same idea, each balloon a tiny, identical iteration of the same, same, same.
4. The Warhol
Like Warhol's silkscreen prints of Campbell's soup cans, a meeting can be a silkscreen of the same old idea, each print a slightly different variation on the same, same, same.
5. The Picasso
Picasso's Cubist masterpieces are all about breaking the mold, but in a meeting, it's all about reassembling the same mold, same old shape, same old idea.
6. The Rauschbach
Rauschbach's assemblages are a series of recombined, recontextualized, and reinterpreted fragments, much like a meeting attendee's rephrased, reworded, and rehashed idea.
7. The Miró
Miró's biomorphic sculptures are all about reconfiguring and reassembling the same old forms, same old ideas, same old meeting.
8. The Calder
Calder's mobiles are a series of repeated, yet subtly different, movements, much like a meeting attendee's constant rephrasing and rewording of the same old idea.
9. The Miró
Miró's biomorphic sculptures are all about reconfiguring and reassembling the same old forms, same old ideas, same old meeting.
10. The Kieffel
Kieffel's abstracts are a series of recombined, recontextualized, and reinterpreted fragments, much like a meeting attendee's rephrased, reworded, and rehashed idea.
