I ate the soup you've mentioned here It contained a lot of stuff I was asked: "Do you want more, my dear?" I said: "No thanks, I really had enough..." Then later in the day it was That my stomach began to roar Unclear to me was then the cause But it all became so sore... Then finally it was set out free And there was this exploding fart The sound and odour was created by me... But.... is THAT really art? :-) Just could not resist... sorry! :-) But I'm not thinking lightly of the whole matter. I have mentioned it before, but if my kids draw a picture it might not be a Rembrandt, but for them it's the highest form of art. And when I see how much work they have put in it I consider it art also. Art is a form of expression, nothing more and nothing less. There are no standards or rules to live up to. Art is art and you set your own rules!!! Even pornography is art, although many people will consider is as garbage, I don't like it either. But still millions of people are turned on by it. And that's the thing about other art forms also... it needs to "turn you on". What must be done then? Set standards for what's considered to be art? Who should judge? It's not a competition in which you can set height, time, length etc. as a goal. It's not some article for which you can set standards for safety, usage etc. Art is still free... let it be!
