techristian Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Some artist in NYC put 312 pounds of sliced ham on a 4 post bed and called it ART ! Read more about it HERE Dan http://musicinit.com P.S.

KenElevenShadows Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 This is a man who clearly understands his art. For example: ~~~~~~~~ Despite his training in an Italian art school, he said he had rejected Prosciutto -- "It would have been pompous." He also shelved an idea to do ham and eggs as "too pretentious, too thought out." ~~~~~~~~ Clearly more of a populist artist, my hat is off to anyone who has such a well-developed understanding of his carnal medium!! Bravo!!!

whitefang Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Back in the '70's, some "artist" laid 30 feet of duct tape along a floor and made the same claim. YOU be the judge!

Vortex Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Sure, it is Art. Here's another "meat" piece that I personally find more compelling. http://www.snopes.com/politics/arts/meatdress.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guruman Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I'd call the dress art. Not so sure about the bed though... --------- -Guruman- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I had an uncle named Art once. He's dead now. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dementia13 Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I get the meat dress. Looks great on her, too. Hey, if someone says it's art, then it is. It doesn't have to be traditional, it just has to have a point. Sometimes, pissing you off is the only point. But it's a valid one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudonym Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I made the "big" mistake of becoming an artist, but I actually learned how to draw, paint, that kind-of stuff. What I fool I was, to think there was protocol, guidelines and rules to actually "be" an artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HA - HA - HA, what an idiot "I" was.............. Hey, all I really had to do was shit on canvas and I'd have been an "art-star" WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antimatter Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Was it Boars Head? They don't say if it was Boars Head. Deli ham would not make Art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dementia13 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 They don't say if it was Boars Head. Deli ham would not make Art Whoa...whoa...now, that's a pretty strong opinion. I mean, definitely there's a line between art and entertainment, and when you're talking Boar's Head, you're definitely talking entertainment. But, every once in a while, something meant as entertainment catches that little bit of spark, something meaningful that pushes it over the line. Shakespeare never thought of his plays as anything more than cheap pop churned out for the masses. You never know, one day Boar's Head might surprise you. Just don't be so narrowminded and reject it out of hand. Now, Oscar Mayer, on the other hand...that's just disposable pop. It's not even fair to criticize Oscar Mayer, that's just a marketable face and name. Some producer behind the scenes is doing all the work on that one, Oscar Mayer's just a face they put out there to click with the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Knutson Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Was Marcel Duchamp an artist? Was John Cage an artist?

What makes you think you know "art" better than the artist? I find that I definitely appreciate a lot more - and meet more interesting people - when I (at least initially) withhold judgment until i have found out more about the thing that I am judging. There is a lot of interesting, compelling, stimulating art that one can pass over if one judges it too quickly. Also, I may not like something, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad, stupid, or inconsequential. It simply means that I don't like something.

Rog Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Of course it's art. That doesn't automatically mean it's good art though. "That's what the internet is for. Slandering others anonymously." - Banky Edwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
