So, is this really art?

So, is this really art?'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

Oh this thing? No, it's not art IMO...Speaking of Erith:

This "nude crowd" thing seems to be popular with artists at the moment."Paul Hanson, you should give Gibraltar back to the Spanish" - Paiktis, dramatically over-estimating my influence in diplomatic circles.

I should become an artist and produce lots of modern arts with young female art students.

It's been popular with the general public for some time.

Does it matter whether you call it art or not? I think it depends more on your definition of art than on what you think it is.
Like Martin Creed, an artist who one the Turner prize said "I don't make art, I make things". I think it's great that people do things like that, and I love performance art, though whether or not I would call it art really doesn't matter to me.Smile

It would be much more interesting if he firebombed the crowd. "With this piece of art I want to put the focus on the fragility of the human body"

Performance art my be nice, but it isn't worth many livesunless it's a gathering of right-wing Texans *cough*

It's not art, but I generally do not have problems with nude females. The nude males and ugly women I can ignore. It's a win-win situation.Comment

Hell, leftist "artists" want to do just about anything with naked people in it and then claim it is art. Art envolves some sort of composition and talent; taking pictures of naked people in the street requires neither.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

No it is not art. In fact is it allowed to even do? Doesn't it violate public decency laws? Or have I been living in Latin America too long?
In my personal opinion, it isn't. I have done real art myself, and this isn't it.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

And sheesh.. is it in Spain.. WTF? Oh... Barcelona.. our San Francisco.. I hope the Civil Guard orders them to disperse.. this kind of crap should not accepted.

It makes the profound and eternal statement that the "artist" has way too much free time. We need another Guernica if the Spanish are that desperate for artistic inspiration.
I could say something about the sexual saturation of society leading to a numbing effect requiring ever greater stimulus to provoke response and blah blah blah. But frankly, this isn't worth it.Comment
