Oh art is an outrageous misnomer. Craftless tat is good. The
depressing thing us how weedy and hollow most conceptual art is.
Amazing how much depth religious devotion enabled artists to acheive,
and how puny and inconsequential many current attempts at profundity
and symbolism are (Stand up Gilbert & George and their awesomely
banal anti-racist stuff). The other thing is the seperation from
drawing and painting skills - certainly it has allowed through art
made in other mediums but it hasn;nt half increased the fraudulent
stuff by making impact stand for depth. I was drawn to a typists
chair sawn in half (Damian Hirst) for all of a nanosecond. Tracey
Emin's new bedspread (yawn) looked like something a pop star would to
some worthy cause for a raffle. A guy dressed as a girl makes vases
with cocks and swastikas as part of the pattern. Poor us for living
in a time when such doodlings merit the reverential gallery show and
the celebrity of artists says the work is great. Good because it
gets people talking? PSo does Avian Flu.
Ah well, the next show is photographic portraits "including David
Bowie". Oh thats great then. They must be good.
Only the Hodgkin and the Freud paintings compare to my ride in
Chopwell at 11.00 am. Bedterget changed.

I'm going to get me some of that ART tomorrow. Jossi assures me we
had planned to go to the Baltic and the Laing tomorrow, the day
before the current exhibitions close, to see some art. Being
cultured and intellectual I obviously want to do this. I'm not some
single setting primitive who lives to ride mountain bikes, I'm an
evolved guy with a range of vibrant interests. No, I feel sorry for
you lot belting up to Inner and getting your "kicks" doing foolish
things on overpriced bikes.
I mean, who'd want to do that?

I'm not being a wimp but I can't do Inners. Jossi, unreasonably
in my view, has reminded me of some committments and arrangements
on Saturday. I gave her a clip across the face, obviously, but she
does have a point. Enjoy lads!!!!!!!!!!

Go on Chris, show us how it really is, and we can show Rob the
pictures of how it SHOULD be done!
