The body of work being exhibited is entitled “Bringing the artist closer to his public in 3 images”. The piece examines the concept of space and distance between art, artists and their viewing public whilst exploring the underlying themes of isolation, alienation and complex post-Freudian oedipal complexes.
Described by one modern art critic as "complete and utter crap", the exhibition is likely to fade into obscurity only to be quoted by some so-and-so in 50 years’ time as the turning point of conceptual art in the 21st Century. However, the exhibition organisers have said that they'd rather not wait and would prefer to have the fame, recognition and accolades now so that they can actually benefit from them.

Lovely photos of the artist as art but you have made no mention of the the other artist as art in the art here mentioned which, are you really saying, is by you Papa?Surely the whole things raises some questions of art, artists as art, artists who become artists because they have made artists art. And therefore as aforementioned in a kind if artists arty way there must be some kind of ownership issue. And who are the viewing public? Does viewing art make one an artist too, or only if you claim it? Papa?
Hope you enjoyed your birthday Colin. xxx Lizzie
