Better don't kiss me, Kate - Page 3

Better a crack in the floor than a crack in the brain.

Oh wait. It's just one and the same...

It's called Shibboleth

An old survey revealed that many people closely associate art galleries with churches, the silence and sense of reverence. Cracking open a gallery is an interesting step away from this.
The artist described her intention in terms of divisiveness and alienation, but that doesn't matter. It's up to the viewer.
The emperor doesn't have to be wearing any clothes, the situation is different.

All you need is Tchocky to me your marketing manager.

If everything is art, then nothing is art. The word art becomes a synonym to the words painting, drawing, sculpture, and so on. The distinction can no longer be expressed normally, it is up to the Poet to work around the language and get his impression out. That's why we'll go ahead and consider everything as poetry aswell, so the circle is closed, leaving no exit.

I often wonder: If the standards of what passes for "Art" today were as low in the 1920s as they are today, I wonder if history would have turned out differntly: Think about it, Hitler could have actually succeeded as an artist, and thus would be less likely to become a genocidal dictator. :p

I have been working on this for months now and have over 60 hours into it. I thought this would be a good place to share what I can finally call a masterpiece!

Skybird · 10-12-07, 06:51 AM

To make effort and hard work look like if it is nothing and all easy fun - that is really an art! i also like the diversity of interpretations possible. compared to it, the mona Lisa is boring. She always smiles inthe same way. Camaero, keep on the hard work, and you will have a great future greeting you.

True. Unfortunately it's impossible to make statements such as "this is art", and "this is not art". As soon as divisions such as the above are made, we then impose criteria and restrictions, ending up with a manual "How To Make Art". Which is rubbish.
Don't bother yourself with questions of what is or is not art - your sensibilities will decide that for you

My standard glib response is that art is what gets hung up in galleries, literature is what gets taught, and art criticism is an employment scam for art critics.

That avoids all and everything. If nothing is art, everything is art.

Looking at what is often hunged up in galleries, I have my doubts.

They said the same things about Mary Cassatt, Pierre-August Renior and Edgar Degas when they were creating works. 100 years later, we hold them as the standard. The jury will be out on both Twombling and Skybird's works for probably that long as well.

Skybird · 10-12-07, 05:03 PM

But I wanted to get burned and strayed into the wind after my death. So how could I turn in my grave in case Tak's vision becomes a reality...?

Should I erect a mast with a wind turbine before dying?

Yes. It will also serve as a work of kinetic art until the world can determine the worth of your other works.
