I find modern "art" closely related to a pile of bollocks, in most instances. As per the above.

A retired museum curator comments, thank heavens I wasn’t ask to write the exhibition catalogue for that one.

Through a series of installations and kinetic, musical sculptures, Kaur works with sonic memory and the cultural resonances of everyday materials and objects. Axminster carpet, bottles of blessed Irn Bru, political flyers and salvaged family photographs are re-worked to evoke new cultural readings. By weaving together vernacular objects and sound, she considers how political ideologies are carried in community spaces.

It reminds me of a sketch Harry Enfield did in which he played an art/antiques dealer. The shop was called “I saw you coming”.
I am completely bemused by some modern art. We went to the Tate Modern a few years ago and in one of the exhibition halls there was a workbench, some car tyres and the sort of stuff I have hanging around in my workshop in case the stuff needs “repurposing”.
It turns out that it was a complete art installation.

I don't know much about art, but I reckon the stuff that Athow is producing (see 'My Kiwi Reproduction ulster' thread) is far more artistic, beautiful and skilled than most modern so-called art...

"...cultural resonances of everyday materials and objects" My goodness, how true, I think of little else.

Personally I was considering 'how political ideologies are carried in community spaces' myself when thinking about how our new man Kier was just as keen as the rest of them to take a bung by way of freebies to ensure he looked good when visiting local communities, after all it would be the wrong ideology for a labour leader to be seen wearing the same glasses twice.
