Public FArt

It is always grimly amusing to pop in to my local 'art' gallery to see the displays of vomit on the walls and the public earnestly trooping though to gawp bemusedly at the embarassing apoligies for art.Some of it is mild lefty agit prop,almost all of it is the product you would expect to see adorning the walls of a lunatic asylum.

At the foot of these visual excrescences is invariably some text by the artist by way of  intellectual justification or explanation and these make as much sense as the work itself and fittingly are right out of pseud's corner.All this may seem innocuous enough, a sort of employment programme for those with special needs but it is really a serious assault on cognition, cultural vandalism and tyranny.This is what happens when art is subsidised at a point of a gun directed at taxpayer's heads.It is the art nobody wants and hence the coercion to make them pay for it.
