那种认为现代艺术只能在博物馆里才能看到的观点是错误的。
即使是对艺术不感兴趣的人也不会注意到在公共场所展示的现代艺术品。
公园里、大楼和商店外竖立着的奇形怪状的雕塑，对这些，我们已经司空见惯了。
有些所谓的“现代”艺术品在那里已经陈列了近80年了。
尽管如此，最近举办的一次现代雕塑展览还是使一些人（包括我在内）大吃了一惊。
走进展厅首先看到的是一张告示，上面写着“切勿触摸展品，某些展品有危险！”展品都是些活动的雕像。
人们所熟悉的是悬挂在天花板上、造型奇特、随风飘荡的雕塑品。
这些展品却使人大开眼界。
靠墙排列着许多细长的电线，而电线又连着金属球。
金属球经过磁化，互相之间不停地相互吸引或相互排斥。
展厅中央是装有彩色灯泡的许多高高的构件，灯泡一刻不停地闪烁着，就像失去了控制的红绿灯。
小黑盒子里迸出火花，红色灯泡发怒似地忽明忽暗。
这儿倒像是在展览古老的电子设备。
