Hi all.
The best way to see what he does is to "Google" him and then click on
"images", they do have a pretty weird effect on people, we have a large
pregnant woman in our National Gallery that must drive the attendants
absolutely crazy perpetually telling people not to touch.
My gut feeling is that interesting as it may be to see a cold dumb plastic
lifelike naked representation of ourselves many times larger than life that
does not necessarily make it art.
It is probably worth pushing this just a little further, given that 40 or 50
or maybe more years ago artists invented the idea that anything could be art
if they said it was. There were howls of protest initially but we all got
used to it, I for one now find myself seriously questioning whether the
simplistic idea has finally run out puff.
Regards to all
