Away

Sun Oct 24, 2004, 2:56 PM
Yes, well, I went on a weeks trip to France (Wow!) a week ago, thats why I havn't been very active lately. Went to a fairly large town called Strasbourg (Alsace, home of Kronenbourg, one of the largest cathedrals in the world and the infamous Modern Arts Gallery.

All these places were amazing; the cathedral was tall and had a very unique clock that had run for many centuries. Kronenbourg wasn't bad either, the bar they had, had no till (;) )....yes, free beer, and drinks :P The only thing i found rather, well, hard to belive and surprising was the modern arts gallery.

There i was, strolling around, studying Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker" and other famous pieces of art, when i stumbled across and room that was completely white, and there on the wall stood a huge WHITE canvas. I thought to myself "Some Guys gonna do a live painting" and "Their gonna do something with that, I know". I slowly walked up to the plaque next to the canvas.

I can't quite remeber the name of the artist, but i do rember seeing 15 000 euros. Feeling unquisitive, I asked about this, and low and behold, some artist had "Sold" the museum the plan for this piece of art, which incidently was to take a wall and paint a canvas white which was 80% of the size of the wall exactly, then stick it up there. Taking the piss methinks. Its what happens when money takes control of so called "Artists".

Clever bastard, wish i thought of that before him :P
