Nor does ugly equal high art or more conceptual art. I just think what he is doing gives artists a bad rep.

 

The story doesn't say whether he told his friends first.  
I wouldn't want to go over to his place for a BBQ without clearing up exactly what was on the menu.

 

ironically, for the naysayers in this thread, the fact that its even being discussed actually already defines its boundary in art terms, heh.

(its not like most of you guys are qualified to judge it anyways...)

*goes to random workplace and harasses staff; 'you call this accounting?! hah!'*

 

How does discussion define the boundaries of art? Is art defined by discussion, or does discussion inherently create boundaries? Dont people discuss everything from the mundane to the exceptional? Do you mean that these are boundaries that we create in our minds? If so, that does not mean the boundaries really exist. In other words the art would not be defined.
Anyway, he is without boundaries, but his "art" is full of them. He does not succeed in elevating the viewer, but in fact instantly repels them. If he is an artist he is a clown at best.

 

i refuse to discuss art with you in lieu of credentials.

duly submit them via PM and we'll take it from there, thanks.

Pfft, I typed all that from an actual art studio.

Eat my superiority.

 

Only if it isn't cooked in your own body fat.

 

Writing on the wall with poop = insane

Writing on the wall with poop and calling it art = visionary

 

Theres some guy that comes into the public restrooms where I work and writes/draws on the walls with poop. One time he made a spider with it, using toilet paper for legs. I hate that guy, because the restrooms always smell terrible afterwards. Well, at least it isn't my job to clean up stuff like that.

 

well take the wall and sell it because RandomFerret thinks it is art..

 

This post is art. I'll sell Random Ferret (and any other art fans) copies of it at a reasonable price. Original posts by Tony! may also be commissioned for a fee.

-Tony!

 

Eh, I'll just press "print screen" on my keyboard and pass it off as an original.

 

Quit violating my rights as an artist! Hater!!!!

 

No, not a hater; a thief. I plan to e-bay my pirated copy of your art as the real deal.

 

However, if you declare yourself an artist (a rip-off artist, but an artist all the same), then I suppose I can't decline your artistic rights.

And I'm hoping this thread is gonig straight to Fuzzy, where someone fring meatballs in their own fat seems appropriate.

 

Not art fan. Artist.

And artists rarely actually buy art. Plus yours sucks.

 

Ewww...That's a disturbing article...

 

My art ROCKS  

I'm sorry that you don't understand it.
