Guest Iain C Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Plus, if people want to see it - good on them. If it was in London, I'd go and see it. As for buying it, only rich shitheads buy art and they'll buy anything.

I really don't see the problem. me neither. what the fuck are you ranting about? you think i give a shit about this? i just said i thought it was shite ffs. there's only 2 reasons to exhibit works of art in my book - the art has to be at least interesting or in some way commercial. if culkin wasn't involved this wouldn't tick either box and there'd be zero interest... if it was just these 2 artfags on their own you wouldn't give a shit and you wouldn't be needlessly ranting at me for whatever reason. look at the painting they did on their own, the kurt cobain one... fucking shite. you think people would rush to see an exhibition of that kind of stuff by 2 unknown art students? would they fuck.

But that's not what you said, though. You said: On 9/21/2012 at 2:49 PM, keltoi said: why have an exhibition if it's just for fun? And what I'm saying is, I can't think of a better reason to exhibit something. I get that you don't like these paintings, and that it's only getting the exposure it is because Mac's involved - but it'd be worth exhibiting even if he wasn't. Whether anyone would go or not is kind of beside the point. Anyway it's five so I'm going to the pub.
