James Gallery's Pretty Ugly challenges ideas of how "pretty" art should be with mixed-media submissions from Tom Megalis, Ken Draim, Stacy Innerst, Laura Jean McLaughlin, Jay Nesbitt, Tom Sarver, and David Wallace. The stop-motion video from Megalis created to promote the exhibit explains it pretty well: "Art, like Michelangelo’s?" "Well, sort of, but not really. It's modern art." Another character says, "Modern art ain't art. That's pretty ugly if you ask me."
