Well Life is what you make of it, if you perceive it to be depressing it’ll be depressing, if you perceive it as art it’ll be art.
I can see how a lot of things are art.. especially nature. To some extent we are all art too.

I’m a fan of art, but I cannot stand this contemporary shit. It’s not stylish, its dull boring white plastic shit.

Everything is art!! We are walking pieces of art, and the world around is is our canvas
I agree, art is how we express ourselves whether good or bad, it’s the communication of our emotions

Abstract.

But yes my loving is an art to the lucky ones :laugh_at:

Nature is art

I was told once, ‘anything that is emotive is art’

I agree

I like a lot of contemporary art,

I think the thing with art is it is always changing, what my parents thought as contemporary is old fashioned to us – including music

Some of Tracey emnins stuff I don’t get but some I do ( I went to her first exhibition when I was an art student, we only went as it had free champagne and I remember rolling around in her tent, and we licked champagne off of a statues tits outside the camberwell gallery after – it was only years later I realised it was ‘her’ opening night)
Same with Gilbert and george, adrian and shane, jeff koons, damien hurst etc

I know what I like and what I don’t, visual strand audio
I try not to get too hooked into genres or the art behind the art
A friend of mine is a conceptual artist (doing really well for herself) I haven’t a clue bout the concept, I don’t understand it, but I really like the end product, I’ve told her this and for her the concept is important to her, if you get it- that’s a bonus but art is what you make of it

That’s not art, it’s mathematics. Look up fribonacci

It might be maths but its still art

I agree completely with the Girly Tank re: Anything emotive is art.

I’d also add that it’s anything that provokes thought/reflection. So in answer, yeah I think art exists in everything around us, but each individual has their own perception of this world and therefore this art doesn’t ever exist in its entirety for any one person. I think that makes sense… :crazy_diz

I’m not doing occupy edinburgh again, lol that was brutal, n.e.ds were coming at us with knives and we had to stay awake all night long cos they were coming at the tents and marquees with petrol and matches.
There are too many fucking delinquents about, and they are the ones who breed the most amount!

Haha, in reply to chelley saying that we need ‘revolt’

‘art’ implies a detatchment or separation of conceptual boundaries; you know like when does the armchair stop being an armchair – it’s the temporary distinguishing of an idea from its context – generally as a reflective process. If you were to view a human as art then it actually becomes more interesting; at what physical boundary does a human stop being a human, if we effect something then does that become part of us as an idea.

There is also the dualistic argument that an artwork is a conduit for the ideas that it has been loaded with and that will be recieved.

Art is also generally timeless, its detachment and separation from ‘functional’ reality makes it step back from the conventional linear perception of time which we usually work with.

Art’s more of a process than a thing really.

They breed the most cos they’ve got fuck all else to occupy their time mate. They’ve got 90 mins a week taken up with either the Hibees or the Jambos and other than that, their time’s divided between fighting, fucking and getting wrecked! Quite impressive really considering even p0ly only has time for 2 out of the 3 in his schedule!

i combine getting wrecked and fucking to save time.
