You might want to go to Portsmouth to see these. *mutters* You don't want to be getting involved with them scummers.

Hai. Another case of the manflu here. 
What's wrong with the Tate Modern? It's great
Some of it is good and then you get shite like "bricks and chains" which surprisingly enough was a bill of bricks with some chains laid over the top of it and "slashed blank canvas" which surprisingly was a blank canvas someone had slash.
Stuff like that to me sums up everything that is ridiculous and wrong with a lot of modern art.

secret0I tend to agree that some of it is shite but it's more than compensated by some of the stuff they have. Picasso, Rodin and Klee make up of for plenty of shite for me.
For example this was the first thing I saw, at the top of the elevator as soon as you walk in

See that to me isn't modern art.... 
I think it was the 2nd or 1st floor which had all of the paintings, I really dug that, it was when you got to the art installations that it was total shite and to be fair, I've done the Pergamon in Berlin a few times and they have some modern installations which were brilliant so it's not a case of me "not getting it". I just don't feel that throwing a pile of stuff into the corner or smearing a canvas with shit = art.

Think it's generally recommended not to do that mistake while in either of the 2 cities.

Anyone miss me? Did you? Well?
I was off work Monday and Tuesday looking after tiny girl and also because I felt like shit. I could have come on here but to be honest I got too into CBeebies and stayed with that.
I see that since my departure we have moved onto subjects such as modern art. I one went to an art gallery in Bonn. Ive forgotten the name of the place but they did have Freddie Mercurys feet (or hands) print in the concrete outside which, to me, was good enough to pay to see what was inside.
Lots of art and statues and so on. Some good and some bad but what stuck with me was a photo display of slaughtered cows. There were (human) models with bits of dead cows all over them and blood everywhere. Or humans hung up posing dead next to dead cows etc. To me it wasn't art so much as someones excuse to act out their own weird fantasies. Plus it must have been extremely smelly.
I more of a 'fallen Madonna win ze gig boobies' kind of art lover.

On another not I hear Bill Murray and George Clooney want Britain to give back the Elgin Marbles.
Well fuck you two Yankee bastards in your stupid acting faces. They're ours and are staying put. We took the marbles so that the Greek wouldn't sell them when their economy went tits up. Which it did and still is. Therefore if we give them back they'll just sell them to buy Ouzo.
If we should give the statues back to Greece then I suggest that you, Mr Murray, give back something to us by making Ghostbusters 3 without whining all the time and you Mr Clooney, can give back the money you made from those Godawful shitty Nespresso advertisements and then go back to E.R and shut the fuck up
Thanks for listening.

No anger here. I just thought everyone else was mad and joined in.

I enjoy looking at art, but find myself in a bit of a dilemma over it: I feel quite ignorant and think that I ought to study and learn more so that I can talk intelligently about it, but wonder why I should bother when 99% of all that one hears talked about art is such utter drivel?
Have a couple of photos:
a) mrs_huge admiring big stuff at the Louvre
b) Self-explanatory, really. One of my favourite 'capture the moment' shots
Y'all have a nice day, now.
PS: If you really want some anger, the best that I've got at the moment is: Fucking lazy bastard journalists!!
I know that we Brits are famed for our love of talking about the weather, but you guys are taking the fucking piss. Go out and find some proper news. 
PPS: Crikey! Cancel the anger! We need to start a mojo (whatever that is) factory! All hands to the pumps...
