oh yes, i really like his works... beautiful : )

(i know of another artist called Nils-Udo, who also makes
ephemeral art out of natural materials in natural settings;
i might prefer Andy Goldsworthy's works now, but you may
want to check out Nils-Udo's ones as well.)

I love his art and the movie was beautiful.

I saw some similar "land art" out in the Eastern Townships
near Montreal last year and while it was interesting seeing
that stuff in person it didn't come close to the cleverness
and delicacy of Andy's work. Then again Andy's stuff is so
ephemeral and the stuff I saw was meant to last for
days/weeks.

See, that's why schools should only teach things that people
will hate anyways, like farty old Victorian literature and
matrix algebra.

"cool stuff"

"my favorite artist now"

"he is a knob"

"I find it boring really but Its quite impressive "

Fuck me, you people are the cultural elite. I'm in good
company liking some of the same music as you, you really are
clever, and stuff.

That wasn't a follow up to Dannn, I just instinctively click
his name, like a dog sniffs another's bumhole.

I really liked his work before I met him, some of his stuff
was really quite clever. He claimed to be able to live off
the land eating rabbits and stuff, but he was always first
in line for lunch orders who he always made one of the
students get (usually me because I had a car) and would
never give you enough money. One time I didn't give him his
change and he went mental so I asked him if in his world
petrol was free.

At his private view of his show, we raced to see how much
red wine we could drink, knowing that he had it on a 'sale
or return' thing.

He's a knob

You mean make an intelligent comment about art that you'd
"get"
, which I'm not prepared to do.

I can't do it, you've found me out. 4 years of academic
study and practice of art and all I can say is "Yeah, some's
alright, I guess."

Come on then dog, where's our essay on subconscious nihilism
in the works of Thomas Kinkade?

am I the only one who thinks conveying meaning through dance
is an awfully bad idea?

Going back to all that boring, pompous 80s land art shit
which was even worse than the hyped up, coked out 90s YBA
shit that replaced it.

You know that "student" drinking game from the "90s" that
was based on "80s" film "Withnail & I" that was only
discovered by the masses in the "90s", where you'd have a
drink everytime someone in the film had a drink (a variation
was you'd drink what it was they were drinking, not
including the lighter fluid).

I've based one on Swears' posts, where I have a beer for
every mention of "80s" and a spirit for every "90s". A post
with both "80s" and "90s" warrants a Pina Colada or a Bucks
Fizz.

It's essential to think about these decades. You can't help
it.

I doubt it would make much difference to dog_belch's
drinking routine anyway.

I don't think the lessons from the 80s were properly learnt.
The 90s were one route, fair enough, but the 80s forged a
very rich seam with limitless possibility, but we just
follow on in a linear fashion from the 90s. I think pop
culture now is at a dead end and music should stop. I think
all music created in the 90s should be destroyed and we
start again at 1978 and release in order all the records
from that date onwards, in real time.

To be fair it helped me cut back.

That fella just seems like some heavily depressed mental
patient let out for the day to do some "art therapy" with a
bunch of twigs tied together. I don't care if it makes him
feel better, I want to see a giant chia pet or a neon sign
that says "FUCK OFF", or somwbody destroying everything they
own in industrial crushing machines, you know, a bit of
flair.
