What with the clocks changing, on one occasion years ago I
put the clocks the wrong way and arrived for work two hours early, children ad
suchlike I didn’t get time to do an april fool this morning.
Back to the april fool I did consider saying that one
of the exhibits at The Turner Contemporary had been discovered to be a fake,
but didn’t fancy getting sued, so instead a picture courtesy of the gallery of
one of their leading exhibits at the moment.

There was also the possibility of suggesting they were going
to paint the gallery a different colour, however having viewed their latest
video, it looks like it will be red and green.
Did anyone understand this video, perhaps it is an april
fools joke?
My children needed an explanation here it is
Having discussed this business with various scientists
that I know and why there would be this collaboration between the arts and
sciences, producing the useful information that – for instance – while copper
looks sort of brown it is actually green, the scientific answer can be summed
up thus: Acute skintitus down graduate lane – there is scientific research at
the moment looking at the huge amounts of funding associated with contemporary
art.
I have created a Carl Andre lookalike piece for my garden, i think I will name it "Logs for the fire"
ReplyDeletewhat was wrong with the video Michael I found it ok just a collection of bits I see nothing to label it a April fool joke. maybe you are better suited to that awful song I couldn't say half of those words let alone sing them, mind you I wish he had never recorded it.
ReplyDeleteDon perhaps it was just me who didn’t understand it, anyway I have put up the pictures of my walk today which I hope you enjoy.
