What Are You Thinking?

[Osaka]

Time to feed the birds. Fancy some burgers later, at least I'm feeling a bit better than last night.

 

[Daring Dylan]

I am up way too early for a Sunday.

+ 6 hours and ten minutes until this is done. Yay. >.< Then I have to work on everything else. Blah.

*is looking forward to watching Duran Duran*

CT: do i drink that other bottle of yop?

Oh yeah, do you remember where that place was? Wasn't by Snow Hill station, in the Great weston arcade? That's the one I was thinking about with that painting.

Y'know, I've been trying to remember the placename for ages and I can't. That day I was heading for the museum and crossed a canal with a small bridge and some coffee shops with hanging baskets along it, and this arcade where the gallery was was a fancy glass/metal multi-storey venue thing (the gallery being on the ground floor near the far end) and I think the canal was right outside one end of it. Not too far from the museum.

The only time I wish to look at a pickled sheep is if I'm having it for dinner. Pickled animals and messy beds are not things that interest me if I go and see some art. I mean what's arty about this Shibboleth piece?

I guess if you have some information about what it's supposed to convey (other than pretentious titles like Mr. Hirst likes to put on them) then you can think about the concept along with the 'art' and see what it 'says' to you. I think the theme is an interesting one but whether a big crack in the floor would drive it home to me or otherwise be a fascinating experience, I dunno. I guess I'd have to actually be there and take a look, because it certainly doesn't sound too exciting from here. I'm actually more interested in how she made it, than what it's meant to be saying...

And then there was the Weather Project. Ok, each to their own and whatever floats your boat, but I just don't "get it". Maybe I'm not supposed too?

I'm really pretty open-minded about art, and the sort of art that's supposed to be 'an experience' rather than a picture on the wall I'm all for as well... but again I think we'd have to see it in person to get anything from it. I just dislike Hirst and Emin and a few like them, because as far as I can see, they've made a name for themselves only by doing the opposite of what the audience expects for shock value, and I know for a fact Mr. Hirst is out to make money rather than art. He doesn't even make the pieces himself, but has a team of artisans and technicians to do all the leg-work... he just comes up with a title and a concept and then tries to flog it under his name like a brand of celebrity perfume.

Hmm, I know the place where your discribing but can't picture the shop. Oh well, nevermind.

I suppose it helps that you work with art and so have a bit more of an understanding/patience when it comes to it. And Hirst, well, some could call him clever. The fact that he's getting paid for someone else's work even if it isn't right.

 

[V]

I wonder if the gallery is still there? Many of the 'venues' in it looked kinda temporary.

Hirst? Oh he's clever all right. It's clever to have commercialised his position such that he's rich for doing almost sod all. I guess it's just my nature to get annoyed at that, like it annoys me that some of the most highly paid jobs are not much like 'work' at all - unlike the ones where someone can slog their guts out all day long for a joke of a wage. I'd love to see those people with skill and dedication and graft actually get their due. And I'd much rather see artists who do work hard and are exceptionally skilled be successful, instead of Ms. Emin for drawing graffitti penises like you get on school desks or Mr. Hirst for putting dead animals in tanks of formaldehyde.

If I were him, I think I would have a bit of trouble with my conscience, yeah.

 

[MasterOfEvil]

What movie do I wanna watch? -_-

 

[Vauxchen]

That I should do my homework due for 13 hours from now. But almost anything seems more exciting.

 

[Daring Dylan]

His boyfriend is so cute. Oh my goodness. Why must he be gay? </3

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

Duran Duran were good, christine bleakley was f***ing annoying as host and the adverts were too long!
I love their new song Leave a light on.

 

[Osaka]

I should really get some sleep.
Friends on Facebook, huh...Why'd you tempt me to reactivate my account when I've nothing on there anyway...? Must. stay. away.

 

[SpawnShooter]

Merry Un-Birthday everyone!!!

 

[Klawed Flaw]

I'm thinking about leather pants and two Yu-Gi-Oh! characters taking them from Yugi.

 

[SpawnShooter]

[Dante's Stalker]

And I hold the keys of death and Hades

So Jesus is the angel of death? Or am I interpreting that wrong?

 

[DreadnoughtDT]
