Make Your Own Damn Art is a fascinating dive into the quirky world of Bob and Roberta Smith, who is actually Patrick Brill. The documentary captures his unique take on art as both an outsider and an insider, given his role at the Tate Gallery. The tone is often light-hearted yet deeply thought-provoking, as it juxtaposes humor with serious commentary on the art world. Pacing ebbs and flows, allowing moments of reflection amidst Brill’s colorful and chaotic creations. It’s interesting how the film blurs the lines between art and personal expression. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on the artist's own work, which is really what makes this piece distinct and engaging for anyone interested in contemporary art.
