It's work about his partner who died of aids. It's the weight of his partner in candy. People take some as they enter or leave the space. Representing the weight loss and withering away from the disease as well as the idea of it spreading.

Effort doesn't make art worthwhile

>>656432630
So not much effort, piled some candy then farted out an arty explanation.

>>656432738
*doesn't always

>>656432799
then what "effort art" is worth talking about?

you can't judge art by how much effort has gone into it. Someone asked Picasso "what is art?" and he just point to a bulls head he had made by sticking the handle bars of a bicycle to the seat

It was made in 1991. Well before diabetes was as rampant as it is in your family now

>>656432898
If a piece looks to have taken effort to create. e.g. painting a square blue then putting a paragraph underneath explaining why it's art is pure bullshit.

And what's wrong with that?
Wat's wrong with liking something for the beauty and effort instead of the message/meaning behind it?

The meaning of an art piece is secondary to me.

Just questioning your read of art. Nothing is wrong with it if that's your taste. Just think about why you like art. At the end of the day just saying you like it because it's beautiful and hard to do, isn't an intellectual conversation

This some tribal I did the other night, about seven hours

>>656433364
i honestly think that explanation isnt entirely bullshit. art is kinda like comedy in that if the piece requires a longwinded explanation before you can appreciate it, they shouldve just made a better piece in the first place

>>656432630
>>656432630
So, while that gives the piece more meaning, it doesn't mean it's a good piece. A piece of art should be able to stand without the artist's intention; the intention allows for a more enriched viewpoint after already interpretting and digesting it.

>>656434684
Holy shit, I just cried for a second out of nostalgia. The painting itself isn't a masterpiece or anything, but it reminded me of my family's backyard in Sweden during the winter this one time. A teenage lover of mine lives there. We were very close when we were teens, but nowadays never speak anymore.

Can you tell me more about the painting and the artist?

>>656435364
>At the end of the day just saying you like it because it's beautiful and hard to do, isn't an intellectual conversation

not person you are talking to, but maybe art is meant to be enjoyed and not talked about?

friend of mine says art is a dialog, and to understand the language, you need to be educated in art.

I think its interesting that some art is worth thousands ( basically meaning "i like it" ) and other art is worth hundreds of thousands ( lots of people find it a significant dialog )

>>656433182
More details about this pls.

>>656435725

okay...
Usually they give these little ruins, rocks and fake plants, not a cat's skull.

Can someone please explain to me why it's so wrong to like both modern conceptual art and old figurative art? Or popular "art" and unpopular "non-art"? Why do I have to be in one of two camps?

Just seems to glorify a lifestyle that isn't healthy

>>656435868
To a point. Some "artists" just use the explanation to pass off anything. Went to Saatchi art gallery, one piece was some underpants on a radiator with a massive explanation. Utter bullshit explained away.

>>656436358
how does that glorify anything. it seems sad as shit.

>>656436154
I'd be more worried about the smell.

>>656435642
I agree about art as a dialog. Zombie formalism is rampant right now which is the "I like it" camp. It's a huge debate in the art sphere. People making art to make money and no other reason. The ones that stick in the history books are the ones with meaning and a strong dialog

ahh fuck i wanted an official story but fuck it, might be a little bias

The girl has an idea of something horrific happening inside that house but she isn't sure what, she doesn't want to check it out but she knows she has too for whatever reason.

A scenario pops inside my head is i imagine her hearing a painful scream of a loved one followed by a slight alien voice of another man that isn't suppose to be there like perhaps a dangerous serial killer. She doesn't want to check on her family but she has too

>>656436381
I see what you mean, but it doesn't really matter: if there's a group of people that feels addressed by either the underpants, the radiator, the combo of that or the explanation it can pass as legit art. Its not our duty to judge other peoples emotions.

>>656435868

>>656435868
to address your metaphor, its not like that at all because audio is part of the movie format. its more like saying doing a silent film with a book beside it would be ridiculous because if youd used the medium to its full capacity there would be no need for a book

I don't think you're clear on the concept of "meaningful input". You should get that sorted out before you speak or try to communicate an idea again.

It's still pretentious garbage "art" that only enhanced douches of level 90 and above can truly give a shit about.

>>656436331

Is it art? I don't know but I like it!

>>656451092
>boohoohoo I don't like a piece of art and I am going all the way in telling you guys that

Stop please.

I see what you mean but that doesn't make it art. A pair of underpants on a radiator can move you if you relate to it in some way. Say for instance you remember seeing your underpants on the radiator in your room as a child after your dad took them off of you before sodomizing you. You may have a very visceral emotional reaction to seeing that. It doesn't mean it's art.

I didn't say I didn't like it. I never said I didn't like it. I just said it wasn't art. It's poignant and thought provoking. That doesn't make it art.

When you call it art you make it pretentious garbage. It borders on being performance art but then I don't really consider that art either.

Interesting point, but it can become art, I believe, by giving context. Otherwise we start to judge art by effort. There is no definite discipline in arts: anything can be(come) art.

Take for example Rothko: he painted big squares of a solid colour and is being hailed as one of the greatest comtemporary artists. By meausure of effort he is no Van Gogh (even though he was perfectly capable of painting figuratively), yet his works are able to evoke emotions by combining certain aspects, in this case size and colour.

>>656451786
Well, that's fair I guess, I personally stretch my opinion on what is art and what isn't a bit further. Not to say there's not a thing as shitty art, there's a lot of that, yet it's still art to me. Art, in the end, is nothing more or less than a display of the imagination.

Richter! Great artist. Very physical way of working. You should watch the documentary about him.

Redon is so imaginative - I would say playful.
