this is what is wrong with art now....pretentious much?!

[CalumFinnigan]

@noushywoushywoo Nothing pretentious about it.

[likeallimarie]

@noushywoushywoo what about this is pretentious? You might be overthinking it

[MATTDUNCAN1]

so bored with all this .. so retrograde...dull..academic..p­retentious...SHOCK ME FOR FUCK SAKE

[KaiserVanDusen]

@MATTDUNCAN1 Well...that's the appeal of it, isn't it? Mundane, Retrograde, Academic....How far can we take mediocrity before it becomes second nature to Pavlovian? There's no art in switching the remote...just which channel you end up with...geddit?

[MATTDUNCAN1]

@KaiserVanDusen ..oh...i must write that down...thank you so much..i assume you agree..there is NO appeal, the work is pointless...so i return to my comment...how very..intelligent...how...clev­er..how middle class

[KaiserVanDusen]

@MATTDUNCAN1 ...and it is important to keep in mind that what you're watching is essentially a television commercial : "Give us your money because what we do is completely irrelevant". The young ladies of 'fionamail' saw that and responded accordingly. These guys are no better than the Shamwow Guy. The appeal and the point is subjective for without them, we'd have nothing to point and laugh at. G'day...

Great! Can I have one too, Paul?

[benbaruch1]

John Wood and Paul Harrison, are two video art artists I always refer to in my lectures in my academy. Their work is always inspiring and appealing, especially to young artisis, industrial design students and architecture students. Unfortunately, i do not have their 'In profile' dvd which is out of stock. Can anybody help me get even a second hand dvd, or recommend where I can get one.

Thank you all.

Hi Ben, you could try contacting the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, they hosted an exhibition by Harrison and Wood recently and stock a number of publications.

Many thanks for your help. Paul Harrison himself responded to my comment and promised to send me the dvd.

Again, thank you for your kind concern and for the tateshots which are very interesting.

They are great! I also have a Wood & Harrison video - they made my band, Girlboy Girl do all sorts of crazy things!

[aracabushcabar]

We have just seen their exhibition at the IKON in Birmingham I have never laughed so much in an art gallery.
