A virus seems to have invaded the art thread :shock:

Murf - I agree the guy in the BBC clip is a pretentious twit. But that does't mean the art he's talking about is pretentious.

Since this appears to be the art thread excuse me for hijacking it, but it feels like performing a guerrilla gig in the middle of another group's guerrilla gig. :wink:

Sometimes the pictures posted on the fiso pub picture battle are quite intriguing. This one posted by murf caught my attention:

Obviously, it's not my favourite work of art. It's a still from a video piece produced by Icelandic artist Unnur Andrea Einardsdottir for the Cologne Online Film Festival as part of a competition. Some of the other videos are interesting too and can be seen here.

Of perhaps more interest is the Daily Serving, the website from which the still was taken, which is a contemporary art website. At the moment the front page has a picture of a massive work by Olafur Eliasson (bit of an Icelandic theme here, or at least Nordic) which constitutes part of his New York City Waterfalls project. He often incorporates water into large installations. I saw some of his work in Dundee, although it wasn't on that scale.

Now that's proper art Billy :). Nothing pretentious here - just the beauty, emotion and quality of each work.

I've been gorging on culcha like bacteria in a yoghurt pot! Revisited a couple of my favourite cities last week - Florence and Siena. Just uploading the Florence photos to my Flickr site, if anyone fancies a gander. Stuff like this there:

Also revisited the Piccolomini Library in Siena Cathedral, one of my favourite arty places in the world. My photo's were limited by the light, but the link above does them more justice. However, it's the magnitude of the scale that's part of what is so wonderful about these frescos, and that they adorn the walls and ceiling of the entire room.

I like comic artwork - to me the level of detail and humor appeals - to me they are works of art

I've got a limited signed edition of Leo Baxendale's 'The Birthday Cricket' on my wall

I also like Vic's offerings

Very good. Is the light on the side of that last one part of the picture, or glare from a nearby window?

I wondered that too (but didn't think to ask). I really like the style but if the 'glare' was painted in I'd like it even more.

It's glare from the camera flash.
