    I have been accused a few times of being an artist, but I suspect it was probably a different sort of artist.

    When I was a younger man, I went out with a girl who was a silversmith, since then I have always had a slightly different outlook on fashion and art, than many of my contemporaries.

    When  I posted before it was, as you will have doubtless realised,  rather tongue in cheek.  But - and you just couldn't make this up - the Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art has an exhibition that "questions the value and function of cultural institutions"  (no - me neither)

    It is - a room with nothing in it.  The artist is displaying an empty room in a show entitled "This Exhibiton Has Been Cancelled".  Visitors wander through the empty space, doubtless imagining their own artistic displays/projects. 

    Apparently, this exhibition removes what would traditionally be considered an art object.  Instead, they are presenting the gallery as an empty apace, "giving us a moment to question the value in turning over exhibition after exhibition after exhibition".

    Today Glasgow.  Tomorrow (well, next year) Chelsea?

    Tongue still firmly in cheek - but falling about laughing!  imageimageimage

    So true Dove - and I'm one of the "don't".  It took me ages to get over Tracy Emin's bed as art.  Oh, well - perhaps I'm just an unreconstructed fuddy duddy!  (and you heard it here first, folks image)

  • Pretentious rubbish, so many artists seeking inspiration from the dying roman hordes or Picasso running through a cornfield whilst humming to ernie the fastest milkman in the west, total crap

    Monty I think is struggling with the show
