Sinister: art shmart

[Roderick Brannan]

Hey beautiful people!

In view of some of the recent discussions about art, I thought you 
might like to hear about my girlfriend's (who is a fine art 
photography student) exhibition which I went to on Monday night.  
Admittedly her work was quite good (a series of photographs of 
horizontal landscapes taken at slightly different angles and 
arranged into a complet arc - impressive when up on the wall) but 
the other two "artists" who were having the exhibition with her 
produced between them some of biggest piles of shite 
masquerading as art I have ever seen.  One of them found old 
Pictionary drawings and exhibited them along with a pretentious 
statement about progression of identity and ideology (they weren't 
even her Pictionary drawings for Christ's sake!).  The other one 
drew some pictures of fish, and calculated how many fish could live 
in a certain Loch. Pish.

Maybe I'm just a cynic, or uncultured, or both.  Who knows. Who 
cares. Who killed Laura Palmer.

Anyway, I'll be off now.  Exams beckon. Pish.
