Can you explain why you think that? What about them is not to your liking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandhi Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Perhaps the execution of the display belies its £338,433 price tag. Perhaps to qualify as art, the work should be beautiful or significant in some way, or appeal to the senses so as to conjour some emotion from the viewer. I'm not sure that the mixture of annoyance and sadness usually described can be attributed to the successful conveyance of the artists vision. Perhaps the proprietor of the garden centre at Tingwall allegedly being asked by the project coordinator if he would switch off his popularly priced christmas lights, as they were overshadowing the display in the glasshouses, says something of how impressive the Mirrie lights are. Perhaps projects of merit should be sought rather than this art for the sake of spending available funding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenfingers Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Took a run out to Tingwall tonight to see the "Merry Dancers" !!!!!!! Merry............I don't think so! Dancers............More like a gentle amble. All in all it was an underwhelming experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
