I like The Feelers and have a particular affection for Venus - fond memories of surfing with Supersystem playing loud from the beach as the Sun went low and as I came in a beach party brewing...life's what you make it (Talk Talk).

... that is quite funny in its self, but it could just be a symptom of something much bigger and nastier.
Yeah it is, mawhawhahwaaa ;-)

Word.

That, Paul, is a good question.
Some perhaps apt Blake quotes...for we have hirelings in the Court...(remember Blake was tried for sedition).
http://betatesters.com/penn/blake2.htmWB; Artists employ all kind of tricks to get around this deadening effect...
I laffed over this one...for reasons I can't explain just yet. -
Hehe it is a god's life...until we die.
Some say he signed the bowl to differentiate his product at the marketplace, and thus charge more money for it... -
Damn right the floor (tessellated tiles mmmm)! I read somewhere that things art got interesting when someone (name started with P?)...actually signed his utilitarian ceramic bowl with P____ facit.
Lot a worlds in that signing thing.
Let us consider the hand outline blow painted on the cave wall next to the nifty bison sketch... -
Ancient Greek, Poet = to make. Is poetry art? /releases non-existent black cat/ A saying goes that poetry began when Adam started naming things...
Rereading the original post, the word honouring was used in relation to American football. College football and baseball naming teams after Indian Tribe names...art as honour, complex. Then I thought of the Chief's rugby team and Maori carving their European gun stocks, and then I thought about moko...and then /head exploded/.
What is the Weta statue for again? It's designated purpose? Some could say that anything commissioned that has a brief is a different form of art...advertising springs to mind, a black art?
Perhaps there is no perfect definition for art, nothing is perfect, nothing is ever finished.
So glad the discussion continues. -
Oh, my bad ;-0 participation is not my strong card.

The Weta rugby statue, is it art? (I don't think McDuff cares anymore, though MacBeth would I reckon).
-
Perhaps we may regroup? I for one am interested in the original premise (was it to define art in light of the Weta sin (oops, sign)?)...I understand little but am keen to know what others think.
Besides where else in the world would we all know and use the word Weta so understandingly freely?
