Yesterday, in the space of a day, my colleague, on her day off, watched the Derek Jarman film "Blue" and listened to the John Cage CD 4'33".
Two problems with this.
The Jarman film is, quite literally, just a blue screen all the way through.
And the 4'33" CD features an orchestra not playing their instruments. At all.
All very artistic and deeply profound, I'm sure.
But I'd still have Indiana Jones any day.

I have always thought the "silent album" was shit.
It's not fucking art. It's bollocks.
I'm not going to start on Jarman as I may be here a while.

Some people really do suffer for their pretensions
I think I'd rather watch X Factor on repeat. And I HATE X Factor.

What a complete waste of time. People get paid for that, you know. I'm in the wrong frickin job. I often wonder if I would have got lots of money by selling my kids used Pampers in an art gallery. Too lte now, of course. Ahh, missed opportunities.

Ah, don't give up, produce some 'art' either out of Pampers or... directly...
Such art 'genre' might get quite expensive with time, when it becomes... vintage... art shit.
1961 Piero Manzoni created some works of art canned some shit in small tins
and in May 2007 an exemplar was sold for EUR124,000 at Sotheby’s.

Un-fucking-believable.

You can really rip the piss out of people (not to mention fleece them) in the name of art can't you.
I was thinking of sending a blank comment but I was sure someone else would have thought of that.......
