listening to some arabic tv.  news report on art and artists.

 

one woman, half swedish and half sudanese, has an "art" piece of basically a shoddy windowpane made of 4 pieces of wood on the outside, a long piece through the middle and two short pieces perpendicular to the long to make up the other half of the middle.  one string through the top half and one down the left half.  art?  eighth graders in shop class at least add the shiny coat to have light reflection. haha

 

it gets better

 

another "piece" is a white canvas with the words "I am $10000" (really the british dollar sign) with another having the phrase "This is an investment"

 

too bad its not a joke making a mockery of art, those pieces really are 10000$ and however much else.  Andy could make more meaningful art.

 

i dont judge very often, but if "artists" arent going to take their profession seriously, why should any prospective buyers give serious consideration?  notice I dont mention any names or link to any sites.  im not giving out free press.   me: 1. blogs/news: -1 (not 0, im taking their points, they dont deserve 'em)
