art will eat itself
Right then people to explain the concept behind this more fully. Over the last few years i have been getting more than a little sick at the sight of the "ready made" as art. This is not to say that i believe they have no value. I am afraid however, there is a worrying trend towards simply passing of ideas that can be conceptualised far better with other mediums. For example" a car wreck put in a gallery" could be far better describe if the car wreck was not actually a car wreck looked like one but on closer inspection the car wreck was made out of leaves, That had been glued together and given the appearance of a car wreck. This would actually make a far greater statement surely and allow the artist not to seemingly cheat the common man out of maybe enjoying a bit of craft within the artistic practise. (Plus im sure if you actually looked into many many companies could actually sew ALOT of artists for using their patents without paying them!!! It also seems to of had the worrying effect of making art colleges actually not teach new graduates a great deal of skill creating a whole series of young artist with an extremly one dimentional career (or in fact a very short one)

Exactly what "ideas" would you be trying to "conceptualise" by doing this?
>>Plus im sure if you actually looked into many many companies could actually sew(sic) ALOT of artists for using their patents without paying them!!!
Does this really concern you?
>>it also seems to of had the worrying effect of making art colleges actually not teach new graduates a great deal of skill
Why are you concerned by this lack of, what you call, "skill" (I think you actually mean craft)?

well yes i guess i do and by the way when i wrote this original post i was really quite annoyed so i did just ........ kind of say it how i felt it but that is because i have passion...... but i do mean skill because it is the interlocking of craft with concept that creates interesting skilled artists....
