    right, so I did not go to Tate Modern. :) there was some modern exhibition in the Tate though.. can't remember much of it (cause I didn't get it. :o) but one thing that's stuck with me is a recording where apparently the artist had called two museums (the info desks) or something and then put the phone receivers together when the information ladies answered and then they got all confused.. it was interesting enough but I can't remember the point. :D
    they do shit like that on radio programmes the whole time... how the fuck does that make it art, just cos an 'artist' does it? :confused:
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    it just is art. art doesn't have to be nor should be explained and if you don't get it, you're the dumb one. :rolleyes:

    besides, the artist is obviously trying to reveal a severe flaw in our society by doing that.

    :confused:

    I think.

    the only flaw in our society is that that idiot got paid to do that.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    well you don't know if he did. maybe he didn't. maybe he's a true artist and does this stuff cause he feels compelled to?

    yes of course that makes you an artist! especially if you can come up with a nice story about what whatever it is you're doing represents and what metaphors and symbols you're using, you're set. just don't tell anyone what it means cause that would be explaining and that's not to be done. :D

    thanks dear. :) I do actually think that art (whatever the form) shouldn't be over-explained so that everyone can come up with their own conclusions and notions and whatnot.. but some bits of 'art', and especially the artists behind them, seem ridiculous to me cause they don't seem to have a "valid" (in the loss of a better word) point of why they're doing it and try to cover it up by insisting that if you need the piece explained you're silly. (hope that makes sense.)



    and goddess, you should get paid heftily for every artsy thing you do! xxxx

    you dont get paid for it because you dont ingratiate yourself to those art circles, you also dont talk 100% shit about something... if I did a piece of art about a monkey eating a unicycle, then i'd call it 'monkey eating a unicycle' and when asked what it represented i'd probably say "well its about us coming back to our roots and getting rid of modernisation, the ambivalence of the setting is to highlight the juxtaposition between primate and inanimate. The monkey has its back turned to us in a defensive manner which is indicative of the modern society, whereas the unicycle has its wheel still spinning in a formulative response to the ever evolving movement of the modern rat-race" just so i could pass it off as something brilliant!!

    but in reality its a monkey eating a unicycle and it looks cool... if the artist just said that i'd have more respect for them...




    me: 'hey picasso, why is that horse in your picture melting and why is his face a clock?'

    pablo: 'cos eet looks cool'

    me: 'aye, i'll give you that you weird fucker'

    replace 'artist' with 'mentalist' and you might be on to something :)

    depends... art is subjective.

    Hirst cut a shark in half and then displayed it in a glass box.
    Butchers cut pigs in half and then display them in shop window.

    i see no difference... hence the subjectiveness.

    it's the artists who take themselves too seriously who are the shite ones.

    nah, I'm just looking at pictures of celebrity lookalikes, not really that interested in arguments at the moment. :p besides, dunk (or anyone) would beat me easily by just using a few fancy phrases or words..
