# i find some conceptual stuff enthralling
i have no art education to speak of
but some of it blows me away
i like anish kapoor and anthony gormley especially

but yes, a lot of it is utter wank

# To be honest...
I would have respect for art that takes talent to produce.... but most of the stuff I saw was utter quim dribble......hence why they need to add the lengthy descriptions to justify it.


I don't particularly like the old masters paintings, but can appreciate the skill and time to produce them...... same can't be said for the shit in the tate modern.

# it's not always about skill though
sometimes it's about proccess and ideas

you could paint a lovely water colour of someone's face
but why? when you can just take a photo?

some art isn't about the final piece, but more the journey itself
oh, and some of it is pretentious toss....

# i quite like the guy who did 'shed, boat, shed'
the other year, but mainly because i like the concept and the fact that he sailed it all the way down the danube.

# Anybody remember who made
the machine that replicated the digestion process by turning food into shit and
sold the shit in jars?
I quite liked the idea of that piece.

# it depends how you look at it
modern art developed as a reaction to traditional painting being superceded by photography and motion pictures. and abstract sculpture as a rejection of traditional constraints. some of the people producing that quim dribble have amazing draughtsman skills, but they choose to express themselves in a different way

often they will fail to connect with their audience, but when it works, it's great
