Yebbut............it's art!

So, your priority for building design is that it looks good not that it is fit for purpose?

Ummmm,

Is the building a piece of art ? My favourite local building 😁 It's good enough to be a piece of Art....

Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis
On the way home from school yesterday, apropos of nothing our 6yo threw some snow at a tree and shouted 'Art!'

So this is art I guess, although I'm not sure if maybe the real art isn't actually in the very act of throwing.

Look out Andy Goldsworthy , is all I can say..

Definitely performance art yes, with a select yet attentive audience of one.


If it's ever queried as to why one is acting bizarrely in public places , the stock answer is
"Art project innit"

The piece did evolve as her little brother joined in, but I'm afraid I didn't manage to get a picture of the augmented work.

Oh shame.

The dimension of time factors so deeply within these pieces , don't you find..?

Without it the whole concept can come across as highly constrained..

Stultified even 🤔

£1.5m worth of concrete repairs about to start to restore this beauty.

This building is so spectacular I occasionally pay to visit. The amazing lines, angles, shapes and shadows occupy my mind for at least an hour before I have to resort to actually watching the fitba.

The Jeremy Clarkson of the art world. More interested in his own notoriety than in any real appreciation of art.
I don't know about Clarkson, but Sewell was very entertaining. As for his appreciation of art, here's a section of his Wiki entry.........

Sewell suggested that art world insiders had felt embarrassed by a recent TV stunt in which he, a dealer and another critic had been shown a painting without being told that it had been painted by an elephant. Sewell described the painting as having no merit, while the other participants praised it.
