as my partner said, that must have been one hell of a plinth! the poor person who submitted must be crushed!
Ha ha ha...!!!
That\'s just way too funny!!! Have others seen this?? You got to look.
Don\'t tell me...the submissions were looked at by a committee? ::) Talk about losing your head... ;)
STOP LAUGHING ! DOD
*cough*
*sputter*
errr...
umm...
hehehe - i\'m trying, really i am. :-*
I don't think we should ever stop laughing. Modern art is its own strange beast – the good, the bad, and the what the F...
My fav piece was a large pill of Jolly Ranchers. It was an interactive, the audience was to partake of the art and then the pile was replenished by the gallery. It had a price tag of $20,000.
I tried it in my house for about twenty bucks, but the pile disappeared to fast. ;D
I can\'t resist showing you this one, from the mists of time. http://cybermuse.gallery.ca/cybermuse/search/artwork_e.jsp?mkey=35828 It\'s called "Voice of Fire", and there was much to-do when our National Gallery purchased it for the then astronomical sum of $1M.
The funny part is that a local farmer demonstrated his protest of the purchase by creating a pretty precise replica using plywood, a roller, and a couple of cans of house paint, and displayed it at his road-side under the name "Voice of Ire"... I don\'t think he got his million, though *g*
something about the eye of the beholder, I think
hehehe - i actually like that piece. don\'t know about the price tag, and it doesn\'t speak to me of fire, but rather a mellow tone like a soft version of the old TV signal of days gone by.
poor farmer - only the original can be worth the price, eh? ;o)
