🙂:Whistling::Whistling: Now many countries hosting big exhibition, there are a lot of strange works. This kind of work almost have a common characteristic, Is that all the audience, whether art or civilians, all think not good-looking, But this kind of work often in the pavilion defeat those who spent a long time, basic skills, meticulous and realistic works. In addition to individual painter at his own expense for exhibition can also be accepted, Held at public expense, the government's work, more and more dominated by such strange works, many of them is rubbish, split or restructuring, or pick up to put the pavilion is the work directly. Because now this kind of work have accounted for the pavilion mainstream tendency, but most people can't understand, so I hope everybody discussion, how we should understand this kind of work, how do these works with aesthetic evaluation? You know, now exquisite arts always take a long time prices be lower. However the beast style of work,which price is so high, the propaganda is very hot.

Your google translation is not easy to understand. Maybe you are trying to tell us that a lot of strange works end up in exhibitions. If that is so you will find that many of us agree.
What on earth is all that about?? Why is he wearing an urinal on his head?
Chortle chortle! Love it Sylvia. Thought I was being a little harsh with my remark but obviously not.
gobbledegook
If anyone uses it, does it come out of his ears I wonder - if not perhaps out of his................ There is a large garden centre near me where the urinals are huge multi-petaled ceramic flowers of different colours. They give users great pleasure in aiming at the anthers. I do feel sorry for any myopic bees that might come by though.
Julian Spalding has an interesting video on this very subject, or rather on all Conceptual Art. You'll Find it at: Julian Spalding I feel it reflects the same opinion held by most of us on the forum. John
Interesting video John and yes you are right, a fair number of us on this forum do agree with his remarks. The initial meaning of this post was lost in the translation and Pat might have thought that Chirchri was not in favour of this type of art but I think he/she is.
