Now then, don\'t forget to oil the hinges. The best lubricant you can use is called \'living\'.

Is It Art?
Michael Edwards said:
There is no one answer and I don\'t think it matters. If one must seek a definition then the key word must be interpretation.
Using this definition a photograph that hasn\'t been manipulated and simply records reality isn\'t a work of art even though it may have involved an artistic eye in seeking the best view (ie seeking the best composition). But not calling it a work of art makes it no less worthy. Similarly a painting that reflects photorealism, no matter how skillfully painted, isn\'t but again it is no less worthy. However following this logic Canaletto wasn\'t an artist - or was he?
The bed was an idea and it was arranged and designed to court publicity and as such was highly successful but did it involve interpretation? Probably not but that isn\'t the point.
In summary I guess the argument about what constitutes art is both pointless and irrelevant.

Yep. It is your own perception. Art should have NO rules, nor any arbiter of right, wrong best etc.

This is a deep question, Andy. I just think that art is in the eye of the beholder. If I write one word, is it a poem?

Tricky subject art, modernist theorize that
line, shape, color and scale have expressive
powers of their own and need not represent
anything. Good write Andy.

You two have an obsession with that bed. You have mentioned it before. I\'m sure Tracey would wonder why two quite mature gentlemen who profess a love of the arts cannot see the greatness of an installation sold for £2.5 million.

Great write, clip, and pic Gold.
Yep, I reckon all this is art.
We\'re all great modern artists in one sense - just leave your bed unmade and enter it as an exhibit in a show! Or make a pile of rubbish!

a wonderful depiction, full of intricate details,
immersive - as I read a line
I imagine you stepping, in-time
with those footprints: she left behind..
beautifully accessible Andy, well executed
