Pigs and Art Review

Just received the Jan/Feb 2010 issue of Art Review with the supplement entitled "Pig island", featuring the most disgusting compositions of disintegrating pig sculptures...
Is this what the art world is about?!
Isn't there anything more to dedicate the whole supplement to?!
Don't the people who publish that sort of crap have anything better to say to the world and their readers...
Absolutely revolting, looking at that sort of art just makes one want to puke... rubbish
This Planet is Beautiful

By (K)ate

Th4nkz

By (K)ate

Hi again, Harry
Sorry I don't know why I typed photography, I meant graphic works... daydreaming I guess...
Hugz

By (K)ate

you know katey...i was the one who was daydreaming all these years!

i suck.
i mean i cant paint. i dont even know about a lithograph. let alone a graphite clay or how to silk print...etc and etc...that are used to make a work of art!!

i cant even cast a bronze bust!!!

i dont even faintly know how to do it and even dat encaustic stuff!!!!

i dont even know how to do the primitive aboriginal paintings let alone make a color and understand the tones, mixed results etcz and etcz!!!!!

i am not an artist dat i thought i was and was dreaming one day of becoming famous and successful!!!!!!

By harrypotter

Hi Harry,
I am glad u r not an artist... I dont like artists (lol) but love art... U r an artist in a different way, a personality artist and a poet, the way u were writing was as close as one could get to what I would have written myself, u r mainly the reason I decided to join this forum after all the trouble I had last year... and be myself, u r my best friend here, Harry even though we've never met and do not know each other
Thank u

Pig.....Artreview

By prannock

Do I have a choice regarding which one of these three crapules I would really like to be when I finally decide to grow up. . .?

Salutations,
(C)

By clepsydra

Everybody here knows exactly who of the three was meant to be the COUCHSITTER!

PS: What's this SALUTATIONS and INVICTUS macho bruther stuff lately? Clearly ye want to announce to 'ave rented some MAXIMUS gladiradiator vid latelie? Don't keep it to long at home, buddie, or them Romans of the vidstore will charge ye.

PPS: Pran, nice wok buddie, salutations to ye!

PPS: Perhaps a serious question may be admitted here: A cynical Pranwok indeed, but also as it seems to arouse some feelings that not are considered as immediately corresponding to the general consensus of the clap experience of "art", then is yer work art, or intended to be Clap art?

By owhereman

Now, ain't this a real babie, something completely different!

By owhereman

Hi Ow, good to read ur comments ...
Hi Harry,
I think u would really like Mario Giacomelli's photography especially, Presa di coscienza sulla natura (Awareness of nature) series and La notte lava la mente (Night washes the mind), also Il teatro della neve (The theatre of snow)...
Hugz und Kissez

By (K)ate

dear mrpotter: yer angst 's well? more like a child 's spat. i don' wanna FAMOUS and SUCCESSFUL. rather have a living ya know SO I MIGHT CONTINUE W/O too much cry-baby excuses. make art love and sex w/o explain to TOO many morons the WHY.WHATFOR.

do it! then worry! few understand graphic art or art in any form. one hopes it is not constitutional but blind attitudinal.

esulW

By esulW

thank you kate. although i do not deserve much of your recognition.

i am fake. and that's somethin "cleptit right". one cannot refute it.
i painted like a child. i never learned how to mix or wat would be the result...i only put blue and green together...or a white and red...on a brush...and let it slowly flow down the canvass...and i envisioned patterns...blocks...sort of a blank imagination...while the blank lead me on...it felt like i was walkin in an unknown journey...and i knew i was never a real painter of the criteria...yet i questioned...in my shattered heart of heart...what was this about? funny...i was faking an age old tradition that commanded thousands of years of hard toil and research and thousands of years of rigorous and unrelenting sweat and endeavor that should put a shame to an insect like me in a blink of not even a second attempting to vainly try and eloqute it as if i know it for good and better even...

a con and even bad at that.
desperate lives with desperate measures...i am surprised at myself. one would think of so many other desperate measures...but me...why the brush? why the color? why the canvass?

i never trained properly at it even.

By harrypotter

Hi Harry,
For me personally art is a way of saying things, that I can not express with words...
It is hard to explain this, but when u have a tormented soul sort of problem art helps to understand who u r and what is wrong and heals and uplifts...
I also actully enjoy doing it, applying the brushstrokes etc.....
Ur Comments Cheer Me Up!!!!!!

By (K)ate

:)
at least it makes me feel lighter that i cheer someone up...

but i cannot help but question deeply...is it worth it? wat is the value of it? wat fake fragile plastic rendition of emotion is this? wat is it worth? where is the tones of depth in it? where is that gradience of life and growth of excellence in it? what are the values that are correct that i am not even faintly aware of? what are the disciplines of art that i have no sense nor practice of nor have the imaginations about?

why should then i not feel doomed, worthless and just a burden of life? and if i am so, why do i even exist? what right do i have to go on draggin my miserable self and life and infest the whole world with my inane being? draining upon life's precious sources like a parasite...what decay and destruction and sickned degeneration do i represent?

why am i still not being shot at?

By harrypotter

Hi Harry,
this is absolutely hilarious.........
I was just asking myself exactly the same question.................................!

By (K)ate

why am i still not being shot at?
By harrypotter

Consider yourself lucky, or fortunate, or whatever you want, but don't whine about not being shot at. It's no fun to duck bullets Potter!

Get on with it!

By clepsydra

duckin bullets reminds me of that age ol climb again...ah me...why do i always recite da same ol rhyme again...and again...and again...

i only carried harryowhere's pack o sack a mile above the meter...just last month...and dat's it...my real identity...

i am...hari de porter!!!

not deported...although most occassionally from da borders of shengen da dibilitittytelters...wateva day represent...i hope it is freudian enough...or skiller...or red red rush eey ya eey ya oh...as long as da mongoz are beyond dat dreadful fences...never know when dey gonna climb up and over and start da choppin and da rapin...aldough voltaire said it was da bulgarians...ah well...cultivate...dat's wat huxley said...cultivate...dat's wat mao said...cultivate...dat's wat ryand said...cultivate...dat's wat nature taught us to do

but da way you do it and manage...and sing a song or drink a wine...or make a loot...or a sinful covet upon your neighbor's wife...is wat da bible refers to as being...SODOMY...no...you are lust...you should not be so fuckin...well...

it is all about your discharged, recharged, overcharged, uncharged or all sorts of charged energies isnt it?

like the evolution just said...or da biophysicosophists just said...it is animoproton broder...you have no understanding nor control over it!!!

so...

i have defly missed a lot of thongs along here havent i?
