I've seen the results every year for years now........... I've still yet to see something I can put on my wall! Haha...

Give it to Gruffalo ,bet he'd make something useful out of it ,and more pleasing on the eye!

It says it all when you can't believe you've won, and then can't explain your art.

not sure

It's laughable. I bet there's all beardy types trying to explain the reasons why one piece of crap was joined to another in that order to signify something.

 

It's the order they were taken out of the skip. Loads of pieces of crap to make one large piece of crap.

I know he is. That's what makes it even more laughable. Once they have a name for themselves, "experts" simper over every pile of shit they knock together and proclaim it to be something other than a pile of shit.

I like a lot of contemporary art, but I think you are right about a lot of this stuff. More fool the collectors that buy it up & good luck to the 'artists' that produce. There's a certain genius to that racket. Hirst massed produced & bypassed the auction house to become incredibly rich, that move was the real clever part....;-)

If you had the money and space to buy and hang one of those monstrosities, I can imagine the conversation when anyone came round.

 

"That's nice. What does it do?"

"Do? It doesn't DO anything. It's a dustbin lid welded onto a teapot and rusty chair frame."

"But if it wasn't welded, you could use it as a dustbin lid, teapot and chair."

"Yes, but not now. It's art."

There was a funny incident at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art earlier this year.....when an art student put his glasses on the floor against one of the walls. It was photographed & received a lot critical attention! Haha......

So if an "expert" went round Hirst's place and there was a pile of scrap out the back waiting for the dustman, would the expert know it was scrap or would he make a twat of himself saying how good it was?
