This "nude crowd" thing seems to be popular with artists at the moment.

Does it matter whether you call it art or not? I think it depends more on your definition of art than on what you think it is.

Like Martin Creed, an artist who one the Turner prize said "I don't make art, I make things". I think it's great that people do things like that, and I love performance art, though whether or not I would call it art really doesn't matter to me.

It's not art, but I generally do not have problems with nude females. The nude males and ugly women I can ignore. It's a win-win situation.

Hell, leftist "artists" want to do just about anything with naked people in it and then claim it is art. Art envolves some sort of composition and talent; taking pictures of naked people in the street requires neither.

No it is not art. In fact is it allowed to even do? Doesn't it violate public decency laws? Or have I been living in Latin America too long?

In my personal opinion, it isn't. I have done real art myself, and this isn't it.

It makes the profound and eternal statement that the "artist" has way too much free time. We need another Guernica if the Spanish are that desperate for artistic inspiration.
I could say something about the sexual saturation of society leading to a numbing effect requiring ever greater stimulus to provoke response and blah blah blah. But frankly, this isn't worth it.

Careful, Elok.. we spanish got plenty of artistic inspiration.. and by the way... the guy in charge of this crap was not Spanish.. he was a whacked out New Yorker. I don't mind tourists coming to my country to get ripped off.. but these whacked out people should stay the hell out of my country.

Quite scaring me..

Also pay a visit to the second link in my signature.. can you read Spanish?

Well anyways.. leftism is the worst thing that has happened to this world. After of course those stupid cats that live in this house two blocks away from me.. I hate those stupid things.. and there are like twenty of them.

That is the only thing I can think of that is worse than leftism.

Well those stupid cats ripped through trash bags which I had to clean up.. in front of my house.

Anyways.. leftism doesn't work.. and the disfunctions are shown in this so called "art exhibit".. more like exhibitionist crap.
