Isn't a sound installation just another term for being a musician?

the cello music is by Johann Sebastian Bach, written in Germany in the early 1700's It is The Sarabande from Suite no. 2 in D minor. When I think of the huge human effort, genius and inspiration to create such profound music and then I see very simplistic efforts by visual artists, it makes me feel sick inside. Why can't people devote themselves and produce something of high quality?

the presentation of the works is such conventional, powerless. Thats one thing, the other they are all comments and they are no suggestions.

Not many people stopping for a listen in the Phillipzszzzz room. Thats because its pish. Presumably you can buy her "work" on CD for £1.99 down HMV? Or does it cost £250,000 to have it "installed" or something?

Angela de la Cruz should have won (!)
What a honor to see her - she comes to the shop were I work partime
so exciting and powerful her work - especially because it has so much conceptually of her own experience - so much life (!) in such hard experience
