Cacotechny (n.) “Bad art; a hurtful or mischievous art.” (OED) Although both the etymology and the citations for this word would seem to suggest that the art referred to is of the mechanical rather than the cultural sort, I cannot resist the temptation to take this word literally, since, as any moviegoer, theater fan, or gallery trawler will attest, there is such a glorious profusion of bad art of all kinds.
