I'm off to the Tate Modern
for a private viewing of the work of Malevich.

Anyone been? Am I going to be crushingly bored? Can I take pictures?

Been to an art gallery recently? Who'd you like in the art world? Favourite art movement?

Art.

I hate the Tate Modern. I hope you don't die of boredom.
I am ambivalent towards art in general.

wikipedia tells me
Kazimir Severinovich Malevich was a Russian painter and art theoretician. He was a pioneer of geometric abstract art and the originator of the avant-garde, Suprematist movement.

oh shit
Suprematism (Russian: Супремати́зм) was an art movement, focused on basic geometric forms, such as circles, squares, lines, and rectangles, painted in a limited range of colors. It was founded by Kazimir Malevich in Russia, around 1913, and announced in Malevich's 1915 exhibition in St. Petersburg where he exhibited 36 works in a similar style.[1] The term suprematism refers to an abstract art based upon “the supremacy of pure artistic feeling” rather than on visual depiction of objects.[2]

Is he the black square chap? If so his work looks like rather naïve wax crayon shadings
I'd have a look if it was free but wouldn't expect to be amazed.

Right, pint....

Thats the 'famous' one, Malevich did one too.

Malevich was a rip-off hack

Sounds shit

I like painters/sculptors who can actually create works that look real, not like stuff my kids draw

Don't take pictures, you terrible philistine.
I like art that upsets people because it's not proper art, sound art and that sort of shit.

The best artist was Donald McGill

Art galleries are hell holes filled with the sort of wankers who go on wine tasting courses.
They'll stand there for hours on end debating, inwardly, what the artist was trying to convey when they shoved a lightbulb up their own arse and took a photo in black and white, then blew it up to the size of a fucking house and put it on display.

These people don't realise that the only reason the cunt did it was so that everyone in the art gallery ends up looking at a picture of him with a lightbulb up his arse.

Have you not seen Munsta's seminal work "Portrait of the Artist with a Lightbulb up his Arse" ?
It moved me deeply.

It was the draft piece where I broke a flourescent tube mid insertion that means I struggle for my work.

My friend had an excellent piece about the humble lightbulb, which combined sound and visuals.

Ooh, sounds good
I like a bit of burlesque. It's comedy and tits, usually with booze, can't really top that.

It was exactly that with sketching

I could tolerate having to sketch a bit I guess

The museum of modern art in Bruxelles was actually pretty good
They had a bunch of Magritte in one section which was excellent.

Ive never been one for Art. It is subjective.
I like art when it's of stuff and even then it's just drawings.

I don't see the difference between me smearing a load of paint on a canvas and calling it and emotion, to an artist doing the same.

I like art out of context
(because I am a cunt) But some of the sculpture in parks was great, round a corner and there is Moore all tactile and stuff.

Then you find out that someone has tried to nick one for the scrap metal weight and that is well lol too

last one I went to was the Hugh Lane in Dublin. Francis Bacon's partner donated his studio and it is reconstructed as he left it inside the gallery. I remember it was an almighty mess littered with paint pots and cases of Krug that he kept brushes in.

art is ace
gallery openings are the best place for free wine and pretending to be an actual artist. I used to go to loads.

Photographers I like: Sandy Skoglund, Cindy Sherman, Sian Bonnell, Martin Parr (although he recent stuff is pants), Eugene Meatyard...some others.

Photography doesn't really do movements much, but in other art I like the spirit of dadaism
