Claadehol Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 It has been said that "Conceptual Art" is basically practised by those that can't draw. Maybe that's unfair! I am assuming that the latest eye-opening exhibition by Shetland Arts falls into that category. One exhibit shows an artist posing in a converted greenhouse wearing what is described as "wearable art." Tracy Emin's "unmade bed" made headlines some years ago and the modern art world has not improved significantly as far as I can see. This latest exhibition by Shetland Arts is presumably funded by us and is intended to make us think about things. I have thought about it and have come to the conclusion that if you want "wearable art," buy a fair isle joopy. Colin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 You can take a "jobby", smooth off the rough bits, cover it in glitter, mount it on a pedestal and call it "art", but it would still be a "jobby"... Art is like religion. It's a matter of convincing people that the subject is worthy of "praise". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
