# You know, I think I have a lot of patience with modern artists
and I usually think that an installation that makes people think or breaks regular thought patterns is more art than, say, a painting of a vase with flowers.
With the occasional exception, of course.

That being said, she's obviously wrong.

# But it is her bed! ;)
I agree I like art to be a bit more challenging than a nice looking picture, David Hockney does a nice line in Cubist Photography where he did a montage of photos of a chair that seem to make the chair look weird and splayed out but as he explained - it wasn't just a static picture of a chair but his interpretation of the chair from the view of someone walking past it therefore what he was representing was the chair viewed over time - which I rather liked that concept.

# Cool ;)

Re: But she was wrong in thinking that she had me thinking it looked like my bed though :)

# I think there are two distinct sides to Hockney -
there's the cool and sharp, and the wild and free. I think of them as ice Hockney and field hockney.
