Title: Which pop star statue should be outside which football club ?
Post by: Miss Demeanour on April 04, 2011, 07:45:23 PM

So Mohammed Al Feckeduphead has paid £100,000 for a statue of the god that is Michael Jackson and placed outside his footy club cos he no longer owns Harrods.

His compromising views to the Fulham fans is that if they don't like it they can feck off to Chelsea or some other such club.

There was a critic on the telly saying that if  art work is placed in unusual contexts it can be culturally provocative and suggests that any publicity is good publicity , at least it is being noticed whatever the reasons.

Personally I think it's difficult to enter into this work because of how the metaphorical resonance of the figurative-narrative line-space matrix threatens to penetrate the essentially transitional quality.

You too can be an art critic here http://www.pixmaven.com/phrase_generator.html (http://www.pixmaven.com/phrase_generator.html)

Hmmmm....

I'm troubled by how the aura of the figurative-narrative line-space matrix makes resonant the accessibility of the work.

How about a statue of Rod Stewart outside Celtic FC  rubschin:

I find this work menacing/playful because of the way the sublime beauty of the facture seems very disturbing in light of the inherent overspecificity.

Cilla Black outside Liverpool

Umm... the disjunctive perturbation of the sexy fish visually and conceptually activates the inherent overspecificity.

Delia Smith and Norwich  whistle:

I'd like to but...

It's difficult to enter into this work because of how the reductive quality of the sexy fish contextualize the essentially transitional quality.

Just typed my collar number in:

Although I am not a painter, I think that the mechanical mark-making of the sexual signifier makes resonant the accessibility of the work.
