The bluster bluff away from art
The bluster bluff away from art
In the Sunday Telegraph today there's a half-page article about a project to dress up statues in Liverpool with silly garments which is tantamount to provocation to create a story and there's a plug at the end to the event.
That sillyness gets the funding and the press.
That's there as a dummy pass to take the place of a very important news story of The Impossible Trident Solution (see Google) and The Unifying Theory of Art (see Google) which is a world-changing massive development in the arts and something that is worth talking about by the intelligentsia and everyone else forever more.
If you're not at the far side of the bluff, you won't know about it.

Meanwhile, inth Great Barn at Gawthorpe and Int thexpress me sees 'Lost Threads' show.
It's a great barn and drapes of cloth, so not much to see except drapes of cloth yeah... I couldn't see the barn for drapes of cloth.
I asked what it was about and a nice girl said it's waves from Africa to China and back here.
Meanwhile in the hall a fest of textile (banners? I didn't go in, but about the NHS and Covid).
Community group Covid textiles in the hall and waves from China in the barn.
Mmmmmm.... Something not right there.
Certainly no art involved, that I could see.

Re: The bluster bluff away from art
I'm excluded from society for that.
My relatives died on The Somme for that.
1 million white 'slaves'.
Both my grandma's in grief all their lives for that.
... For Lubaina Himid to question my heritage.
I wrote to the Tate in 2016 but she won the Turner Prize to stuff my life another five years for that.
Claming to be the light, they have denied solid knowledge.

Is there an 'ignore' button on this forum anywhere?

Re: The bluster bluff away from art
You can use the "add foe" feature and you can also simply not click on the threads you don't want to read.
Apart from that, we'll assume you're being performative and acting out the same function as pstotto.

Re: The bluster bluff away from art
No, it was a serious question; I've now utilised the 'add foe' link to good effect, thank you for the advice.

Re: The bluster bluff away from art
I often like these threads by Pstotto. They are far more interesting than strictly come dancing et al as a source of entertainment - quite often containing the odd thought inducing comment somewhere in their midst.
I particularly liked the link a couple of years ago to "death of the orchard", at least, I think that was what it was called. It was on you tube somewhere. I might have to give it another look.

Re: The bluster bluff away from art
And I don't get lubaina himid.
Is there something in her work that is so profound that it is just passing over my head, or is her work, generally simply shallow?

Re: The bluster bluff away from art
Apart from music, literature and films I’m glad I’m not ‘arty’ or I’d enjoy threads like this. As it is I confess to not knowing what the hell he is on about. What I do like though is his totally independent mind set. For that I applaud our Pstotto.

I always refer to such folk as unique
Hope you got your housing situation sorted Pstotto
Re: The bluster bluff away from art
Thanks. I still have about 20 'sketch' vidoes on YouTube (pstotto).
Lubaina Himid has made a career of sobbing about the slave trade but she hasn't made any art about English folk transported to Australia to work in penal colonies for sometimes stealing nothing but a hanky.
Imagine if they had gone to America to do the cotton picking etc. instead.
I wonder if Paul Hogan would be going on about it and in the 70s I don't remember Bruce and the boys singing 'It's been too long, too long, too long in Australia."

Re: The bluster bluff away from art
Nevertheless, that story takes up the art slot in the news to bluff away from The Unifying Theory of Art. In The Art Newspaper this week they are campaigning for artists in Afghanistan who might be persecuted by extremism, whilst being extremist themselves in an entirely hermetically sealed discourse claiming to be intellectual discussion.
