hey if he had piled soiled condoms around I would consider him sad.

Not sure who came first Hirst or Von Hagens but they do seem to be similar.

Gunther von Hagens

Waiting for one of the Banksy's to be declared a woman or gay. Far too much insight for most hetrosexual males.

Happy memories of the AndyW prize.

Many of the pictures have gone, but as such is a statement of the ephemeral nature of art.

I love modern art exhibitions - but you have to understand it's all joke.

Yes and it's the same joke Duchamp came up with 100 years ago......who's laughing now?

New material needed, it's all SO last century darlings!

You could just sew "Sandra" into a £20 argos tent and be done. Maybe then you'd feel you've won the lottery.

Tracey? Is that you?

Tracey Emin how does she get away with it

May be I'm missing something here but how does Tracey Emin get away with saying her stuff is art and worth x amount (£67k for a mask of her apparently). I just don't get it or her or her work it just looks childish with no real skill, the only skill she does have is making people believe its art. I'm sure she is a lovely lady and all that but I'm looking for a plan B and after seeing what she gets away with I'm thinking of selling the empty crushed red bull can on my desk and calling 'Life' and selling it for £10k, the can represents my drive and energy but the crushing of it is the impact of life on this, and the red on the can is my blood and the blue represents my inner self, its very very deep stuff, all yours for £10k.
