Review (in 1996):

Here's a fine collection of work by "talented artists that have gone awry", and "works of exuberant, although crude, execution by artists barely in control of the brush". MOBA's exhibit features such unwieldy entries as "The Athlete", acquired by online curators from a Boston trash bin and described as "a startling work". Or feast your eyes on "The Circus of Despair", another garbage retrieval with an odd Fauve-like appeal. But it would be silly to wax too poetical here. The curators promise continued exponential growth, and invite viewers to join the burgeoning legions of "Friends of MOBA", a group of tireless patrons who endeavor to bring "the worst of art to the widest of audiences".

This is a welcome respite from the world of artspeak.
