Duchamp said (allow me to paraphrase) “in the future, all an artist will do is point”. Now, I don’t like Duchamp and never have, but when a guy can put a urinal in a museum and call it art, the artistic arm of our society is going to explore those sorts of possibilities and suggestions. I can’t wait until originality and original thought is at the fore of the art world, but unfortunately for me, pushing that barrow does not feed my family or allow me to pay my mortgage. I am raving, i have kids running around me and I am supposed to be getting ready to go grocery shopping, so...
- the Urinal was not the art piece. the concept behind was the artmoamoa
- or am I wrong?moamoa
- Exactly! So how can anyone criticize ffffound if this is the basis for the idea of art?MrOneHundred
- ffffound is just lots of fingers pointing. Duchamp never explained how the artist is defined.MrOneHundred
- hmmm good point.moamoa
- ...so it’s no-holds-barred. Everyone is an artist and everything is art.MrOneHundred
- not everything is art my friend.
everything is design.digdre - Lumps of soil Tom.
Design?
Art?Horp - you design a mug, you design a pen, you don't art a pen.digdre
- you also don't art a website, you design itdigdre
- And these days, sadly, we also design our art.Horp
- yes, but thats not the point my friend.digdre
- Duchamp didn’t art that urinal or design it, but there it is in the National Museum.MrOneHundred
- it proves that everything is design, but not necessairly art.
those are 2 different terms.digdre
