Or foreigners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripey Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 AFAIK Emin and Hurst etc only really rose to prominence because of the Saatchi brothers and their huge influence, not because of any particular artistic integrity. I'm not a huge fan of the saatchi brand of modern/conceptual art - the damien hurst piece in the art gallery here is a pathetic and really quite mundane example, god knows how much it cost to bring it here.

ben_1903 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 two points:1. I may be wrong about tracy emins motives; but either way: it isn't art. And sorry but all that 'art is in the eye of the beholder mumbo-jumbo doesn't wash.2. I don't have a problem with art-that-is-modern; but modern-art is a load of balls. But I need to raise 2 grand to get my roland v-drums, so perhaps it is an avenue I could explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art is decided by the Government's bi-annual Art meetings, that is how art is decided!Way to not explain your pointless points really badly! Wayhey!

Acting as the Aberdeen Festival information point, Monkey Puzzle Pavillion is the hot spot to get Six Cities Design Festival information, take part in Claystation, hear the latest on design or relax and take in a film"I like the fact that they have considered the aesthetic and matched it with the hording at La Lamabrda's...Now regarding 'contemporary art' and Ben's century old argument...
