LMAO!! I'm an art lover, but i'm kinda on the fence about modern art.... some of it i like, some if it makes you go "hmmmm"....
shit, or not shit. in my mind, the whole idea behind art is to make you think, to cause you to feel something, to ask questions, to start discussions...
so if you're standing there, looking at a plain laquered red slab of wood in a museum, and wondering "why the fuck is this art? this is shit... i'm so angry!" and then you tell your friend about how shitty you think it is, and you have a good laugh over it... well then, it's done it's job!
here are a couple of personal 'favorites' of mine:
I'm not sure talking about the "shit" you saw inappropriately placed inside a climate controlled museum makes it any more art than the pile of pigeon shit I ogled while I sat outside of the museum smoking. If you are correct, and I am in the wrong, have I now not transformed the pigeon shit into art merely by talking about it?
Red fucking plank! WTF? Nevermind. You'll just never be able to convert me on this one.
am i now saying all pop songs written between 1970 and 1978 are shit.. no... that one song is.
not one of you has posted a pic that otherwise disproves the theory thus far... ergo... shit.
even being short-sighted i can make better art using a potato thats had a daisy carved into it
'Modern art = shit' doesn't mean 'Modern art that is shit', it means Modern art *is* shit.
If you'd posted 'Songs = shit' I would've said 'No they're not.' And then I would've corrected your grammar.
Hey Dunk, was this a Conceptual thread? No-one knows what you meant by it.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
Dunk, this is one of my favorite photographers. He does digital manipulation.
I think he is awesome.
His name is Jeffrey Scott.
The opening page has one of my favorite pieces by him. It is SWF, some of his other stuff is not.
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

and hey, opinions are like assholes eh? and we're all entitled to em. doesn't make one *right* though of course. we all can think what we want to think, but i personally think it's rather closed to say YOUR particular definition of 'what art IS' is the ONLY acceptable definition.
there is no *right*... but modern art=shit being someones opinion is now wrong?? hmmmmm ...
the examples of modern art that i gave ( and others) are shit... opinion it may be.. but my opinion is the right one
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.
anybody here into that lowbrow, pop surrealism, rock art type stuff? that shit is a million times more interesting than that New York high art bullshit.

Well, you could turn that into a found object sculpture. But what's the meaning behind it?

Ah well, some of us become artists. Others of us become mapmakers.

Yeah, difference is, my post was quite clearly a joke.

Yes, that is what I thought he was talking about. I know Dunk well enough to know he wouldn't make such a broad statement. But you are right.
He seems to be unimpressed with postmodern art, which can be understandable.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
A bunch of pretentious wank. If you like it then cool, but to me art will always be about pretty pictures of fileds and flowers. Not a man in a fucking bear suit.

i'd rather look at a Rob Jones artwork any day of the week instead of some plastic box contain all the vowels except 'a' cos thats like a label man

You know what art is? Dunkman's signature.. I am VERY skillful with the mouse wheel.. VERY. This is the kind of thing that makes you think! That, and the occasional vomitory.

it would appear as though modern art makes Dunk want to 'vomitory'...

I've also seen his work... very impressive
