Heartland

Jesus H Tap Dancing Christ. I'm so glad and honored to announce that I am by far the most ignorant man on God's green Earth when it comes to every aspect of art. From Dada and Impressionism to a glass of water on a shelf.. It's all s**t to me. But once a year, some how this stuff is put in the broadsheets and people are given thousands of pounds for what looks like a pissed blind midget students flat on any given week day..

Right I'm off to draw some stick figures and rub creosote on my dishes and have Megan Fox bound and gagged in my living room dressed in nothing but a coal miners hat..What ? Hey it's art darling!!

Once again, it's the particular style of Conceptual Art that's prevalent in western galleries. Blame Nicholas Serota and the rest of the small band who like this particular style of artwork (and happen to be the directors of big galleries).

You might want to go here. I'm not sure Stuckism is the answer (they seem as dogmatic and blinkered as the conceptual artists) but it's an alternative.

that's art?
a woman sitting on the porcelain trone?
is it art a mannequin sitted on it?



i'm an artist

Call that art?

Looks more like a load of sh-t to me.

Actually, the artist has done something very clever here. Even when someone says it's s**t, they can just say, "Exactly! Mannequin Taking A s**t" They've made themselves immune to all the criticism that will be deservedly heaped on them.

I'm off to sell the contents of my rubbish bin.

rent your arse better

less to do with artistic ability, more to do with networking.

Ignore then and they'll go away, YBAs. ZZzzzzzzzz.

Art is like religion and politics. It's far too personal a thing to be debated.

a nonsense thing then

I still think it's funny that when Rachel Whiteread won the Turner Prize (£20K cash for the best British contemporary artist) she also won the K Foundation art award -- £40K cash for the worst British contemporary artist.

I'm sure most here won't need telling who the K Foundation are.

Special?

Nothing special to see there. Just a regular set of buttocks, well kept, no stains, crusts or eczema. Who would pay for that?
