I went to the Lowry in Salford not long ago and in one of the exhibitions someone had smashed a glass cola bottle, reassembled it with glue and called it art.

At the Tate in Liverpool about 10 years ago, I saw a piece of old tapestry about 7ft high, on which someone had crudely daubed a cartoonish sort of person. They had given him a panicked sort of face by gluing bits of meccano to his head. He looked like he was running away from something. This 'masterpiece' was called 'Fire, fire'. Utter rubbish.

EDIT

Well, lookee here, I found a picture of it.

i reakon theres some sort of prank being played by artists on avaerage joe where they make crap and see who pretends to understand and love it and those who dont who can be called idouts

lol the thing that annoys me with 'modern art' is when the artwork does nothing for you and thus you are accused of being narrow minded and incapable of understanding symbolism.

erm, i quite like that 2nd one. I suppose, Art is what you make of it

Now i'm certainly no art critic or even remotely clued up on it, but i like those red twirly prints

each to their own. I was driving in London a week or so back, think it was around the Notting Hill area on a Sunday, I think ?

There they were, line after line of paintings of all shapes sizes and subjects, some of them I would gladly have hanging on my wall, espeacially the earthen coloured ones

i think art is like poetry, you either understand it or you dont

Sometimes I really DO think my 3.5yr old can do better than some of the crap I see about these days....

I always think it's just that I'm not broadminded enough tho.

28-09-2004, 22:14

Don't get me wrong I love conventional art, just none of that abstract stuff

Who knows I might be narrow minded but I can't help just thinking it's a pile of poo sometimes

**Damien** · 28-09-2004, 22:14

I Could do better than those two
