A belated beginning

Yep, it's already week 3 and I'm lagging behind. To be honest it was mainly due to the difficulty of naming this temporary blog and deciding whether I should go for the pretentious angle or a sassy one. So I ended up with a mixture of both. Being a massive Simpsons nerd, I couldn't help the mental image of Gummy Venus whilst I was reading up on Kant (haven't done Plato or the Intro, so the posts won't be chronological any time soon) and it was such a great satire of the whole concept of art.

The most beautiful marble statue gets turned into gummy craft, stolen and sticks to a babysitter's bum. Isn't that fantastic, doesn't it say it all?


So that's my angle for the next 12 weeks - casual but insightful with the vague hope of being sophisticated on occassion.

Enjoy.
