"MOMENTS"
i'd just left the art cafe, and there she was a young woman , she had a baby on her back and she was arranging with a friend to carry another on her front, i said to her "impressive load" we all laughed and the moment passed.
"not quite "
"the chip butty "
​
it didn't cost a lot, chips and 2 sausages, with a side of 2 slices of bread. the young man then put chips on a slice of bread folding it; making a very little go a long way.
​
"love thy neingbour as thyself"
​
THE PIGEON WAS SITTING IN THE GUTTER
IT LOOKED ON ITS LAST LEGS
IT WAS , IT GOT UP ON ONE LEG. I THREW IT A CHIP , IT LOVED IT ,THEN A COUPLE MORE, IT BECAME QUITE CHIRPY AND FLEW OFF A HAPPY BIRD, MY DEED OF THE DAY!
​
​
ITHE NORMAL MAN BY A NORMAL MAN
seak and you will find -well i DIDN'T seek but i did find based on - thought as it is born
the words just came and followed by reason itself no prior reading there is no interpretation you write it as it comes before it is lost and forgotten.see 83
" natures music " A RED ROBIN STARTED TO SING OUT LOUD AND CLEAR
I WAS CLEARING LEAVES At THE TIME ON A COLD DULL WINTERS DAY
why was he singing ?
I HAD CLEARED SOME LEAVES AND UNCOVERED HIS BREAKFAST.
MADE his MORNING
it was robin see -singing for me !
​
​
" NATURE"
I CALL HIM "LONG JOHN
HE OR SHE IS A SEAGULL WITH ONE
GOOD LEG
I FEED HER EACH DAY ,LOVES A SARDINE
SHE COMES ABOUT AT DAWN
REMEMBER
​
KEEP CLOSE TO NATURE AND SHE WILL KEEP CLOSE TO YOU
THE OUTDOOR CAFE WAS FULL AT THE TIME, PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THEIR EVERYDAY PROBLEMS, A YOUNG WOMAN DROVE BY ON HER MONBILE GONE IN SECONDS SHE HAD NO LEGS GOOD LUCK TO GER HER WHOLE LIFE AHEAD -PEOPLE SHOULD ASK NO MORE OF LIFE THAN LIFE ITSELF.
"NOT FEELING NORMAL IS NORMAL"
​
THESE DAYS,YET MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT THEY ARE ACTUALY NORMAL-HAPPY IN FACT-THATS BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW THEY ARE HAPPY EITHER !
THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THIS IS TO GET A SPECK OF DUST INTO YOUR EYE - WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE NOT NORMAL EVERYTHING STOPS AND YOUR MISERABLE ,WHEN THE SPECK IS REMOVED WHAT A RELIEF YOUR HAPPY AGAIN
THERE YOU HAVE IT -THE ELEMENTAL NATURE OF BEING BOTH NORMAL AND HAPPY- IS TO LOOK AFTER YOUR BODY ITSELF EVERYTHING ELSE DEPENDS ON IT -more to follow keep looking
see also blog . 82
WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THE PEOPLE WHE GAVE US THIS WONDERFUL LIFE AND LIFE IS WONDERFUL- HAD NO LIFE - THEY FOUGHT AND DIED ON THE BATTLEFIELDS OF EUROPE FOR OUR FREEDOM
GOD BLESS THE UNITED KINGDOM.
"priceless"

MODERN ART -WHAT IT MEANS ;
It is in fact freedom of expression in itself anyone can do it
if you feel something special about an object then once presented in a gallery as your artwork provided you lable it
it becomes a matter of the viewer to react -like it think its rediculous,silly or a masterpiece -that is the point, it is art of a free western culture you are able to say it is rubbish that is the point of the art or great depending on how you feel by affronting the viewer it gains notoriety in some cased and evern becomes commercial the mistake is to compare it with the great art of the past , it is just freedom of expression ,
normally great art is permanent what you see is what you get ,what viewers don't realise with some of this art is that it requires a set of assembly instructions remake it every time it is shown these instructions should also be on show as they are in fact the basis of the art work.a piece of paper with a list of instructions.in additiional to the original script there needs to be an explanation by the artist of what the work means
RENDER TO BUILDERS THAT WHICH BELONGS TO BUILDERS.
THE EXHIBIT IN THE TATE WAS A RECTANCLE OF BUILDING BLOCKS ONE LAYER THICK
IN ORDER TO STACK BRICKS IN A BUILDERS YARD THE STACK MUST BE ON A LEVEL SURFACE OTHERWISE THE STACK WILL FALL OVER -THE STACK IS A FUNCTIONAL THING NO MORE NO LESS THE BOTTOM LAYER IS THE BOTTOM LAYER OF A STACK OF BRICKS. SHOWN AS ART IN THE TATE
​
MY NEIGHBOUR RECENTLY BUILD A COLUM AT THE ENTRANCE TO HIS HOUSE , HE USED DIFFERENT COLOURED BRICKS TO GET A DECORATIVE EFFECT AND THEN PLACED A GRANITE FEATURE ON TOP OF THE COLUMN TO MAKE A WORK OF ART -IT TOOK A LOT OF SKILL NO DOUBT A PIECE OF ARTWORK
​
THE BLOCKS ARE NOT ART THEY ARE WHAT YOU SEE THE BOTTOM LAYER OF A STACK OF BUILDING BLOCKS
IT IS A CASE OF RENDER TO BUILDERS THINGS THNGS THAT ARE BUILDERS AND TO ART THINGS THAT ARE ART!
TAKING THINGS FROM BUILDERS YARDS IS NOT ART -WHY NOT A STACK OF TIMBER ,OR A PALLET OF GRAVEL WITH SOME SPREAD ON THE GALLERY FLOOR.
I THINK PEOPLE LOOK AT THIS KIND OF THING NOT BECAUSE IT IS ART BUT BECAUSE IS IS NOT ART.I THINK ART OF THIS KIND IS ARE BECAUSE ITS GOT THIS TWIN MEANING WHICH MAKES IT CONTRAVERCIAL ,PERHAPS OF THIS BASIS ITS CORRECT NAME SHOULD BE CONTRAVERCIAL ART .
​
​
​
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND MODERN ART.AND THE UNMADE BED AND THE REAL THING.
​
​
CLEARLY HOW ONE PERSON SEES EXPRESSION MAY BE DIFFERENT TO ANOTHERS -CHILDREN BUILDING SAND CASTLES ON A BEACH IS A GOOD EXAMPLE , BUT IS IT MODERN ART TO TAKE THE CASTLE AND BUILD IT IN AN ART GALLERY ? IT LOOKS LIKE ART TO ME , BUT TO TAKE EVERYDAY OBJECTS FROM THE HOUSE AND PLACE THEM IN AN ART GALLERY AND CALL THEM WORKS OF ART - TO GO TO BED ,GET UP THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND CALL THE RESULT A WORK OF ART then put it in an art gallery as an artwork it is certainly freedom of expression
WHY NOT ANY OBJECT NOT FINISHED - TABLE AFTER THE XMAS DINNER BONES AND ALL OR THE WASHING UP AFTER THE PARTY, OR THE ROOM AFTER THE PARTY THE MORNING AFTER GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU WILL FIND TO SHOW PERHAPS ONE OF THE GUESTS STILL ASLEEP IN STATUE FORM AND WHY AS IT TO BE UNMADe THE BED NEAT AND TIDY .IT IS MODERN ART TO ITS MAKER OF COURSE -THE REST IS UP TO THE VIEWER.-TO ME THE ACTUAL WORK OF ART HERE IS THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS WHICH SHOULD BE PUT ON SHOW NEXT TO THE EXHIBIT IT REMAINS CONTRAVERCIAL ART IS IT ART OR ITS NOT ART -THAT QUESTION ITSELF IS SUFFICICIENT FOR MEDIA IN THE 21 CENTURY TO TURN IT INTO ART
MY OPINION IS THAT IT IS NOT ART NO MORE THAN THE REMAINS OF LAST NIGHTS FIRE IS ART OR THE "REMAINS " AN ANCIENT BATTLEFIELD IS ART IF IT IS INCIDENTAL TO LIFE IT IS NOT ART OR INDUSTRY IT IS NOT ART.
IT SHOULD HAVE AN EXPLANATION WITH IT AND MOST IMPORTANT THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT .
ON THE OTHER HAND A DECORATED TENT BY THE SAME ARTIST IS A VERY NICE PIECE OF ART -TAKE AWAY THE BED AND REPLACE IT WITH THE TEND AND YOU WILL HAVE THE REAL THING!
​
"the half eaten birthday cake"
v
the unmade bed
according to the tate and the media the unmade bed is a masterpiece of modern art .well this is my masterpiece it is a half eaten birthday cake with candles it is also interactional art and the veiwers can eat the rest of it each day at lunch.in the gallery or keep a piece as part of the exhibit while stocks last and its delicious and good value
provenance
robinson's supermarket £3-95 baker to add
the exhibit fresh each day - it is also "living "art it needs to be change each day or it will go off
​
the recipe available limited edition signed by the baker.on the box.anyone want to blow out the candles
​
WRONG LABELLING AT THE TATE MODERN ?
PLACING AN AMIMAL SPECIMEN IN A CASE IS TAXIDERMY BELONGS IN THE NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM THERE ALL KINDS THERE UP TO THE SIZE OF A WHALE.
THE TATE HAVE OF COURSE EVERY RIGHT TO PUT ANIMAL SPECIMENS IN AN ART GALLERY IT IS AFTER ALL FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION BUT WHEN THEY DO SO THEY MUST LABLE IT CORRECTLY ANY AMIMAL IS OF COURSE A WORK OF ART PROFOUND IN FACT AS ARE ALL ANIMALS BUT A MASTERPIECE "BY GOD" CERTAINLY NOT BY MAN AS IS BEING CLAIMED .
LIVING ANIMALS ARE EVEN BETTER YOU CAN INTERACT WITH THEM IN A ZOO OR AN AQUARIUM.
PUT AN AQUARIUM IN THE TATE WHY NOT- PROVIDING YOU LABLE THE FISH CORRECTLY THESE IMAGES ARE DISPLAYED BY MAN BUT NOT HIS WORK
ITS LATIN NAME AND BY GOD OR IF YOU PREFER BY UNKNOWN ARTIST THESE IM
also the name of the taxidermis or fish
​
:RENDER TO CAESAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CAESAR'S AND TO GOD THINGS THAT ARE GOD'S dont' you think?
​
INCIDENTALLY FISH TROPHIES MAKE AN EXCELLENT AMIMAL EXHIBIT WITH AN INTERESTING PROVENANCE! ITS ALL IN THE LABLE MY FRIEND ! all in the lable.!
​
RENDER UNTO CAESAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CAESARS AND TO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GODS.
"MAGGOTS" ARE GODS WORK NOT CREATED BY MAN.
CREATING WORKS WHICH CAPTURES THE SMELL OF DEATH FROM ROTTING MEAT , ON WHICH MAGGOTS ARE FEEDING CHANGING INTO FLIES AND BEING EXECUTED AS A FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT . AGAIN IS FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION , BUT WHY NOT MICE BEING CAPTURD BY TRAPS DUE TO THEIR IGNORANCE. .THIS KIND OF THING GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE ROMANS AND THE COLOSEUM - PAGAN ? AND THE MAGGOTS AND FLIES THEYARE SACRED IN FACT TO BUDDISTS
HOW A MAGGOT CHANGES INTO A FLY IS ONE OF THE GREAT MIRACLES OF NATURE METAMORPHOSIS -THE EXHIBIT WOULD BE FAR BETTER IF DONE WITH BUTTERFLIES AND THE CREATURES SET FREE..MAKING ANYFORM OF LIFE WORTHLESS IS JUST WRONG.
​
THE CORRECT TITLE FOR THE WORK IS
" GODS WORK"
________________________________
2 main types
1 true modern art
depends on its provinence - spontaneous and based on freedon of expression in my opinion it is also ageless eg cave bison and uses the materials available in the times it was made eg caves walls tube trains and stations
​
​
2 establishment modern art is
selected and exhibited by the art establishment unfortunately for art this is the only form allowed in public art galleries
​
to me it is the origin and materials of the art that determines what it is -the cave art is excellent modern art based on how and where it was done.
