Flaming Toilet
ZephyrZodiac:
Who in their right minds even says some of it is Art?
laeshanin:
Indeed. I would have welcomed seeing some of the photographer's other work as the piece displayed conjoured up some really deep feelings, as I believe Art should. The pile of dirt only managed to conjour my mate and I leaning against a wall having a belly laugh. Which did no good for the artist as he was there talking at a podium to a small, but keen, audience. Some people you just can't take anywhere... ;D

Not twice anyway
I think we had some art here that won a prize - a dirty sheet if I recall. Not even a whole bed. ::)
Just remembered, the chap in the copy centre, well his wife paints. Sort of like Picasso style, only everything is in the right place. I thought they were quite nice, colourful, maybe I'd get one, couldn't be more than $50 or so...
Nearly had heart failure - $450 she wanted for a painting maybe 2 feet high by 1.5 feet wide. I found one about 6 inches square, streaks of blue-green with a yellow rectangle on it - that was $50. I did manage to keep a straight face as I left.
ZephyrZodiac:
Paint and canvas are expensive, you know! So payment by the square inch is probably reasonable, although unrelated to merit!

A pile of dirt, with some brooms and a couple of shovels. Who says modern art is pretentious?
My husband was looking into jewellery courses and ultimately decided against one university after seeing their previous students' portfolios. My favourite was the "instant bracelet"--a guy with his arm through the railing at a Tube station. ::)
