You know what? I would barely call the Mona Lisa good art.Kirkby said:
Hell it's an amazing technical exercise, but does it make you feel anything? Does it signify any underlying concept or idea? Do you feel any emotion when you look at it? Does it convey anything to you?
No. It's just a woman sitting on a chair.
Now that is what true art is about, and no one seems to understand that.
Right now I'm painting a picture of a bird we have around these parts. Does it take talent? Very much so. Is it art? No.
All I can say is I wish the Canadian Government would give me a 5000$ grant for the pile of wood I made in my back yard.. They better act fast though because it's going to be burnt this winter...
My Grandfather apparently has high art under a tarp in his backyard. And it's been there for at least 25 years, it must be worth billions!
Fucking ridiculous
Fucking ridiculous
I hate the "I can do it, therefore it's not art" argument. So what? Artists are just people too, the training they do in order to get their degrees and suchlike is a conceptual one.
You may be able to pile logs on top of one another, but you could also paint like the renaissance with enough practice, or sculpt, or whatever. The skills are immaterial.

Mate, the skills are the most material part of art. The true skill lies in applying those talents to the conveyance of an idea, emotion, a concept or a story through the creation of a piece through whatever medium you so choose, that can effectively convey that.Verlander said:
It's less being able to slap stuff together than it is being able to convince people who might give you money that it's art.
*sigh* yes its art. If one deems it to be art it's art.
Art does not mean good. Art can be a lazy reeking pile of shit. That doesn;t mean it's not art.
I don't know why people think art has to be good, or that by virtue of it being named art if you don't like it it's only because you "don't get it".
It's art. That's all.

Not at all. Some of our finest artists today can't paint/draw/sculpt like the masters, but it doesn't affect their ability as an artist. They use their minds to convey an idea or emotion accurately, while the technical skill can (and often does) take a back seat.Digi7 said:
Regardless of whether it's art or not I'm laughing at the city for paying a guy 5 grand to make a wood pile.
Also, I have several piles of wood sculptures I'm willing to sell for the low low price of $2,000 each, pm me if you're interested.
Is it art? Sure. Personally I think it's stupid though and I can't believe they paid 5 grad for it and you can't really get mad at someone for mistaking it as...well...just a pile of wood. Maybe they should put a sign there telling people it's a sculpture and you can't take it. I know I've gone on property that wasn't mine and taken trees (only ones that had already fallen mind you).
