What happened to the pedal (frantically wonders if I knacked it taking them
off last wednesday?)
New boy out this wednesday so a leisurely spin around Hepplewhitefield
maybe, nothing too daft.

I would find it easy to be critical about coneptual
art mainly cos that sort stuff is born out of the
artists strive to make something that grabs peoples
attention and creates headline. (A bit like Big
Brother) But by the same token its a part of the
artist slant on life and must mean a great deal to
them idividually. For me that initial impact of a cow
sawn in half wears off quickly cos I've madder things
going through my head most of the time.
Inners strikes again, rotten luck with mechanicals.
Still us primitives got our kicks.

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.
