It’s been a bit quiet from me, that’s because I firmly believe that I only need to blog when I have something to share. Creativity happens when it happens, not weekly or monthly. Let me know if you agree. Read on to take part in this quick art quiz.
Last week I went to the world famous art fair in Kassel called “Documenta” Though it’s world famous, I’d never heard of it before! Anyway, it takes place every five years and the most interesting thing about it, is working out what is, and what isn’t supposed to be art.
In front of the main entrance on the grass opposite is what looks like an occupation/demonstration against the usual things like exploitation of bears, and for the usual things like rights for bears. To be honest I wasn’t sure if this was or wasn’t art!
The first photo is of the main station, that wasn’t art, but inside the station was an amazing iPod tour which was the best thing of the whole day! You held the screen out in front of you and it played a movie and led you around the station seeing things that had been there but were no longer there. Confused? That’s how I know it was art. Actually it was fantastic, surreal and stimulating. Three things bears like. So that I award the Golden Paw.
The second photo is of a prison which during the art fair has been turned into a hotel and cafe, fascinating and creepy, not sure where the inmates were, but hopefully somewhere else. The rest of the photos are a mix of photos of art and our own photos, three of each. The question for you to answer is…. which three are art? Please send me your answers. The winning artist will receive Wodwik’s Golden Paw.
Meanwhile I hope you are turning your own lives into works of art. Time for a snooze now, till next time. Here is the link if you want to check out the fair which runs for 100 days. http://d13.documenta.de/de/
