On Tuesday the 18th of December the Fine Art department had a trip to Edinburgh to see the Joan Eardly exhibition. I myself didn't enjoy Joan's work, her seascapes were a muddy mess of paint. After spending an hour looking at all her work we were told to branch off and go to the different exhibitions being held across the capital. A group of us went the the Fruitmarket Gallery to see the exhibition of Swiss Artist Roman Signer. 4 of the installations were held downstairs
*to be filled in once I find my leaflets*
I left the Fruitmarket feeling even more annoyed at the modern art world. After watching the DVD where Signer explained the installations I couldn't help but laugh as it seemed to be that even he didn't understand what he was talking about. Is this what art has came to? Where's the craftsmanship? The skill? The Talent? It's the same reason I despise Philosophy students, how good a piece of art is nowadays seems to be based entirely on how utterly impossible it is to understand. Philosophy Students seem to think their the bee's knees just because they can ask a load of questions that no-one can answer, I say if your that smart maybe actually answer some of them.
My area in art that I love is shunned, art snobs say that it's not art yet shitting in a can is? It's all shock tactics and I'm yet to be impressed.
