Looks like someone's feet just got trampled. :)

You're skating on thin ice, callus eater.

... and you can't take a joke.

yawn...i couldve done that in second grade...i think i did, actually....

gross, put your dick away

it could, and that is the beauty of a wholly subjective endeavor such as art or music.

I just find that bed piece EASY. easy to grasp, easy to do, easy to dismiss, easy to never in any way affect anyone ever, other than reminding them of stuff they did on their bed.

Saatchi got assfucked on that one.

I have a recreation of toilet paper I wiped my ass with. you think he would buy it?

not necessarily. it could just as likely suggest that the piece is saying NOTHING hence my revulsion at such insipid inanity.

Well said. I can't rape you everyday, but consider yourself penetrated. On that Tracy Emin bed.

does she have pubic lice?

Oh god. I did a search image search for pubic lice. i did not want to see that!

that's what drives me insane, the public is revolted by the success of the inane works of emin, but the art establishment sees sees only the uproar and fails to grasp why people are disgruntled by her accolades.
she's representing the UK in the fucking venice biennale this year for christ's sake!

maybe i've been looking at internet pictures of student shows :eek:

:p


don't be jealous.

Cutting edge has ruined art, simply by:

1 - Failing to make the earth shake.

2 - Giving presumptuous and utterly talentless people the tools for creation.

3 - Failing to make a serious point about anything other than the artist's own vanity.

that's cos all the smart people are in the sciences these days.

For as long as they don't start looking at their microscopes thinking that they could turn them into art, I'm totally happy to accept that.

this has been one of the good threads this week
thanks for the interesting read

I think that you have a very narrow view of what is art and what is not. That view seems to be that if you can see it's artisitic merit then it is art, and if you don't like it then it isn't art. That's what's known as an opinion.

Just because people don't agree with your opinion doesn't make them wrong, and just because you don't like certain artworks, that doesn't lessen their merit as works of art.

Personally, I can't stand a single thing that Mark Rothko has produced, but I can accept that he is an artist and that what he produces is art.

Not all art is produced for your approval.

Florya, are you Lethrneck4 or do you just share the exact same "Atari says:" sig style?

not that I REALLY care......just wondering because the resemblance is uncanny.

The opposite is true, I'm afraid. In fact if it wasn't because there isn't always time, I'd tend to check out as many works of art as I could. That hardly qualifies as the point of view of a narrow minded person, unless you want to argue otherwise.

well there you go, student shows suck

ha ha ha, i was referring to yours, which porky visited.

but i didn't mean to throw crap at you, except to the extent that i thought you were taking this thread too seriously.



really-- who gives a shit what people post about art on the internet? think the tate curators are looking for answers here?

if you're an artist, you'd be better off defeating your enemies with art rather than with inane discussions. :o

cmon, now go post us some good art.
