Sorry moving a 340 ton rock from 1 place to another at a huge cost !. WASTE FULL A rock is still a rock no matter where you put it . It's only the arty farty types that see it as anything and they just go with what others say it's called being a sheep . The painting of a rock is art . The national monument of the president is art Blue Polls is art but not the price that is just a rip off and rubbish art a 5yr old could do it with a big strong fan It's like the cost of 2 match sticks outside the Sydney Art Gallery a waste of money and gets very old to look at after a while , 1 mach is harf burnt the other is not what the hell it is supposed to represent ?? How about how to rip big money out off silly ppl That what i think of so called ART |

Sorry moving a 340 ton rock from 1 place to another at a huge cost !. Well thats your opinion. Im just gratefull that this rock was moved with out the taxpayer being butt slammed by it. Ive payed good money to see stupider stuff on display. Like the Eiffle tower,The Lourve, The Arc De Triump. The Imperial war Museum in London. Even 221 Baker street. Its a waste of money? Guess I can cross off seeing Ayers rock off in person then. [/quote] Old James |

Guess I can cross off seeing Ayers rock off in person then. First James there is no Ayers Rock ! It is called Uluru , second yes it is now a waste of time as you can not climb it like i did in the early 90's as it is no longer allowed It is not Art but a natural part of the Landscape And wouldn't it have been better just to give the cash it took to move a ruddy great rock to the charity than spend it on a rock ? As for the Eiffle tower that is not art but a natinal monument same as the Arc De Triump ,The Imperial war Museum in London is a museum not art . 221 Baker street. is just a bit of history not art . As for a waste of money ! , then why did you go to France in the first place and what would you have done if these things where not there same in England .....! |

Sorry moving a 340 ton rock from 1 place to another at a huge cost !. Well for "just a rock" its certainly aroused enough passion and debate to be art. The best sort of art does that. Reality Internet Personality |

As has already been mentioned, Art, like Beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Glenn, you say moving that rock was a waste of time and money. Maybe it was, but the folks who ponied up their cash to help make it happen thought it was worth it, and derived some value from it. The major donors probably also give significant amounts to charity. Would I have given if I'd known? Probably not. But I participate in, and donate to, this project, and many folks consider SETI a waste of time and effort. To each their own. That's one of the benfits of living in a (relatively) free society - if you have the money, you can spend it on whatever you want, no matter how frivolous others may think it, as long as it doesn't harm others.

For the most part art is both beautiful and entertaining. But sometimes art can be obnoxious. Then I do this. |

Wrapping buildings in cling film etc is just a publicity stunt. I Think it's art. Is anybody offended? Here is Christo himself:) Pic from National Geographic |

For the most part art is both beautiful and entertaining. Now that is ART. Best image of the 3 monkeys I've ever seen & it beats looking at a useless lump of rock. |

For the most part art is both beautiful and entertaining. And is a painting depicting a turd art? Maybe... |

This is the type of art that i think is not art but a con to get a name for them self's. Now the second picture with the fountain cover'd up should not have been allowed , it spoils a real piece of art ! The gothic church behind it and the first picture is just stupid |

This is the type of art that i think is not art but a con to get a name for them self's. Sigh. It's not stupid. Its art!!! Why do you think that the Italian government approved for this exhibition by Christo for a short time? Why do you think that the French government approved for exhibitions by Christo? Are they stupid? Of course not. Sorry Glenn. It is you who are ignorant perhaps stupid. Greece, France, Italy, Persia, Egypt and others are the homeland for arts. Have you been to Milan or Rome? I have. Here is pics from Milane showing the fountain unfolded and Sydney. Art. Now. Suppose Rembrandt painted a turd with his unpresidently knowledge of light. Art? |
