Phriday Photo XXXIV

There used to be a time when going to an art gallery meant looking at pictures. Nowadays it can be like stepping inside Salvador Dali's cortex...

Installation art or PD developer on his lunch break?

Alas, poor Dennis...

@jay - You are so right. My father tells a lovely story about just that - once he was setting up a gallery in Florida, and to prepare the lighting they had put blank canvasses as place holders on all the walls. Sure enough, a couple walk in and spend 20 minutes listening attentively to Dad talking them through each 'painting'... "..and we call this one 'white cat in a snowstorm'..." :-); 3 April 2009 at 10:29

I haven't yetv recovered from a performance piece by "The Incredible Bombastics" back in 1979 which climaxed with a pudgy, plain, naked, nude woman (with visible tampon string) eyeballing the audience and saying:

"Establishment, Establishment, Establisment" ad nauseam until the lights faded.; 4 April 2009 at 01:28

Somnambulist said...: @tango - hello traveller! You'd be surprised, there's a remarkable amount of lunching going on if you ask me ;-)

@DP - guilty, I'm afraid. Give me a paintbrush and I do art. Give me a large pile of junk and I burn it.

@laog - good grief! I wonder how that act has developed over the last 30 years...

@70s - that's what I thought. (I wuite like the skull though :-); 4 April 2009 at 11:45
