It's an art installation to commemorate the end of WW1

Re: Pendle Hill
Art isn't covering Pendle hill in fleece.
It's an excuse for some weirdo to express their view in a way that seems acceptable by some because of the perceived subject matter.
If the supposed piece of art was a nude women there would be an outcry.

Re: Pendle Hill
I dont personally know the artist and accept that he may be a really nice guy. However, the same fact still applies that draping fleece on Pendle hill isn't art.
By using a particular subject matter that is acceptable by everyone rather than a subject matter that isn't acceptable by most doesn't make it art.
It is manipulation.
If an artist wants to make a name for himself they need to stand out from the crowd in their chosen field, not ride on the back of an emotive subject.

Re: Pendle Hill
I understand the artist was asked to create a temporary large scale artwork that could be seen by many. It’s function to serve as a reminder. I imagine the artist had to select a material that was highly visible, easily portable, could withstand gales and rain, and presumably not threaten wildlife nor the landscape, and no doubt within a set budget. I would say he met the brief.Nonayforever wrote:I dont personally know the artist and accept that he may be a really nice guy.

It’s called a commission and just because someone had commissioned a particular theme you don’t seem to like it doesn’t make it ‘not art’.Nonayforever wrote:I dont personally know the artist and accept that he may be a really nice guy.

Re: Pendle Hill
Given people are talking about this artwork on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and on this thread....I would say it’s already succeeded in reminding people of all those who lost a life or fought in the war.

Re: Pendle Hill
Bizarre statement in relation to a piece of art reflecting WW1, especially considering the long - and generally uncontroversial - history of depicting the nude female in a wide range of art forms.Nonayforever wrote:

I support the forces and associated services more than you can imagine.
My point was if a different theme was being portrayed would it then be accepted.

Re: Pendle Hill
I think over the years a number of temporary artworks have been produced on Pendle's side. This one just happens to be a reminder of those caught up in war. So yes, perfectly acceptable.Nonayforever wrote:Where have I said I don't like the theme ?

Re: Pendle Hill
There would also be an outcry if Pendle Hill was going to be carted away and replaced by scaffolding. But fortunately it isn't, so no outcry needed.Nonayforever wrote:If the supposed piece of art was a nude women there would be an outcry.

Art is subjective, nude women, a manky bedroom, a landscape etc. All art to some.Nonayforever wrote:Art isn't covering Pendle hill in fleece.

Re: Pendle Hill
Did you know that the name Pendle Hill actually means hill hill hill, pen being an old Welsh name for hill, followed by the old Endlish name for hill, to which was added the word hill at an even later date. Something like that anyway, but just thought I'd let you know.
