It must be art because the Tate Modern says it is! Sculpture

Sub title - The King's Turd So lets consider what constitutes art and what patently doesn’t. Lets also ponder why almost anything is now considered ‘art’ Put simply, there is only one reason, and it is, MONEY! Despite what any pompous art critic (or gallery), will tell you, most likely in a language with which you are unfamiliar, genuinely talented art does not need an intellectual prat to swamp you with verbal diarrhoea in order to justify the unjustifiable. If you like what you are looking at, then, to you, that is art. If you consider what you are looking at is stupid, puerile, a visual mess, untalented or just plain bad, or in many cases, all of them, then there is a reasonable certainty to assume that it is what it is. Obviously, one person’s Michelangelo could just as easily be another person’s load of Pollocks. Sometimes, you need to be the judge. The real issue is that at this moment in time there are a huge number of galleries screaming out for ‘art’ and will take almost anything simply to qualify their existence. Talent, originality, beauty, intelligence and even humour are totally irrelevant. If you can hang it on the wall or it fills a space in a gallery, damn it, its art! Once an artist has acquired the necessary credibility, usually from one of our pompous art ‘experts’ in an equally pompous gallery, then that gives the fortunate recipient a license to produce huge amounts of talentless dross and all of it will be labelled as significant ‘art’. A simple example of this is ‘shit’. If you smell a fart, you are unlikely to savour that aroma as a pleasant experience. Equally, if you hear a loud fart, you are just as likely to be offended. Yet, if you are confronted with a freshly produced turd, presented out of context in an art gallery, you are expected to appreciate the deep and profound meaning of that object as a work of art. Who says so? The Tate Modern, inevitably! Don’t believe me, check out the ‘work’ of Piero Manzoni. Cans of excrement, which the Tate Modern, in its infinite wisdom, considers art! They were actually quoted as saying “It is a seminal work”. Pardon? No it’s not. The artist was taking the piss! Its a can of shit, and they have paid £22,300 for the privilege of owning one and then displaying it as art! So what does all this tell us? Well people. Get on down to the Tate Modern with your own personal sample of recently produced ‘art’. The Tate has vast acres of space waiting to be filled with your ‘art’ and it will certainly complement the large amount of ‘art’ which already exists there. They also have a huge number of intellectual ‘art’ experts who will be only too happy to provide credibility for whatever you decide to deposit. Now is your chance to be recognised as a major influence in ‘art’ production!
