Am I a philistine for thinking these are garbage? That last one just appears to be a lamp.
I’ll let the first one off the hook since we can’t really see what it is, maybe it’s not garbage at all.
+1+philistine
Just about anything can be art these days. Almost anything can be imbued with meaning. Almost anything can be an installation. Almost any group of stuff can be said to be curated.
So art is everywhere?…maybe.
But let’s not forget the fabled emperor and his carefully curated clothes.
Arts degrees give you this
do you have one too Gidd ?
No, thanks be to God. I would be ashamed to put forward some of the above as art, if I had one.
Jaysus wept
He’s obviously not an art lover either then.
Meat and two veg degree?
School of Hard Knocks™… and the University of Life™ more like
Ahhh..de salt of de Eart
Ok, so all I see is a tinny shed, a scaffold erection of sticks, a cage on a wall, a lamp and a few screens
But isn’t it great that not everyone is like me?
It takes all sorts to make Ireland unique and special
And I congratulate all the graduates and wish them well
The tinny shed will be up on Daft later for €1,500 a month :)
Garbage.
