My backyard, the back story - the artist is using lit incense sticks to burn regular holes in shirts, so there are holes burned on the cloth spaced say every three millimeters apart. I saw these shorts in an exhibition and did rather think they were beside the point and to be totally honest a bit of a waste of time. Though I agree with twilight spider that art in general doesn't need to have meaning to be beautiful.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17370683.post-1158296688942665172006-09-15T05:04:00.000+00:002006-09-15T05:04:00.000+00:00The hoo hah we make of art is often beside the poi...The hoo hah we make of art is often beside the point, but I suspect some of the art around is beside the point too - and shirts with holes burnt in them by incense sticks may fall into that category.

I like the time involved, the silliness within the serious high-mindedness of the effort, and then that commentary on the hoo-hah we have to make of art that is so beside the point.Jim Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408507847342833145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17370683.post-1158272747510368042006-09-14T22:25:00.000+00:002006-09-14T22:25:00.000+00:00I'm curious about the backstory of this poem.

I often felt that way while deconstructing poems in high school English class - can't something be art just because it's beautiful?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
