Re: The value of public funded art

Yes, and even more shocking is the fact there are plenty of suckers willing to part with their dollars, for one of the tiny tot's 'masterpieces'.

Re: The value of public funded art

The only art that I can think of, that hasn't proved to be a wise long-term investment, once the money men have decided it's valuable, would be the work of so-called (American) child prodigies.

Re: The value of public funded art

Yes.

When it's launched into the atmosphere by me.

It then becomes part of an on-going conceptual art piece I've been working on since 1965.

Re: The value of public funded art

I couldn't give a flying fig, whether those with more money than sense want to invest their own money in so called works of art.

Good luck to the bed makers, and shark stuffers, who are milking...

Sorry to spoil the suprise.

For anyone who doesn't want to know the cost of the Victorian Swimming Gala, so as better to judge the event's artistic worth, look away now.

Re: The value of public funded art

So the financial costs won't now be announced until 'Spring sometime', so it won't spoil our judgement of this publicly funded art?

Something to look forward to.

Re: The value of public funded art

Anyway, let's leave all this nasty talk of money and funding, and where it came from.

Back to art.

Here's another pretty little picture.

Re: The value of public funded art

Goodness knows.

The true, and actual costs of these 'community art' events may never be made fully known to those who have funded them, i.e. the tax payers.

It doesn't fill you with much...

Re: The value of public funded art

Even though when asked earlier in the thread, if it had 'only' cost a thousand punds, no other costs, and Gayle replied that it had, according to this, the actual costs seem to have been £1,160.00.

No.

There were tons of people milling about at 1.10pm on Broadway, icluding a guy with a music deck.

Didn't really work as a flash mob, because the mob were already stood around. So not much...

No one has mentioned Cllr. Britcliffe in this thread, until you've just done so.

You are as entitled to believe what is right or wrong, just as anyone else is.

However, whilst I have breath in my body, I will continue to say what I think is right and wrong too.

Oh he's good for more than that.

He once told me, under pressure, where his pot of gold was.

I invested it in community art.

No.

You can't afford my fee.

Do your own work, or apply for funding.

Re: The value of public funded art

It'd be interesting as to why we were told, quite clearly, that the flash mob event was 'only' costing a thousand pounds. When it seems there's clear evidence it cost £1,160.00.

Oh I've run rings around that racist, anti-Islamic fool, many times before.

He's a crocheter, to my Caravaggio.

All that misses off another vital point...

'The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.'
