Russ T If rather than using a real aircraft he had built his art using a mock aircraft would you feel any different?
Salvador Dali caught peoples attention by placing strange objects/ animals in strange situations? was his art?
The guy who built a replica of a white shark and placed it into his roof as if had fallen from the Sky Certainly got attention and was photographed extensively by the media. Is this not visual art in the same way as painted art?
As for this example I would have had a lot more respect had the so called artist created a mock aircraft. At least he would have shown some talent. The visual impact of the rock doesnt do it for me either.
Dont knock all modern art because it doesnt do it for you. I hate shakespeare plays and find them boring but that is my opinion. Others love them and consider them to be a work of art.
