Weekly dose of culture

I realise that you cunts will have been missing your regular dose of enforced good taste from the offices of the Minister of Culture (aka Supermo).

I did visit the visual communications' end of term show at GSA yesterday, however, and saw some excellent animations by young people with talent (Scotland is full of them!).

So here's a still from an excellent stop-motion animation by Lorraine Stewart:



And here are some of her props, also displayed:



The GSA show is finished now, but the MFA degree show at the Tramway still has this week to run, knuckleheads.

And don't say I never try to broaden your horizons and wean you off tft wank-offs on SF and the travails of life on the YouTube jukebox.

What's that shit the animation is playing on, and has she got a proper man's fanny?

I was just going to add a paean of praise to Crown Liquor - apparently it's fashionable to kiss his ass on this board - for adding to the cultural health of Stennymad by posting BBC radio docs and Ed Reardon's Week downloads.

Then again, maybe you're just a cunt Crown

PS It's playing on a standard iMac. fantastic computers for making and showing animation, natch.

Nothing for you to see here, Snakey, move along now. Take your genius elsewhere.

Is that you in the reflection supermo? Nice feather-cut.

If it was my reflection I'd be holding the phone taking the picture. You're not very bright are you, lennie?

Obviously no' as bright as you. I would probably go to one of these exhibitions and think what a load of shite. Yet a pseud like you can find some merit in it. Marvelous.

Cut to the bone by your repartee

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, honestly.


Go on then educate me, what does that installation "say to you"? It looks to me something a retard would do at special school, after watching Shane.

Ignore his bluff Leonard, mo employs a gimp (shaggy) to take photos for him, a quick play with the levels in Photoshop reveals it is indeed our resident baldy in the reflection.



In fact, are you Steve Jobs mo?

My secret is out, Crown. Keep schtum about the liver transplant.

Lennie, it's not an "installation", it's a student's animation where characters made of paper emerge from the pages of a book. Rather clever too.

What's that, sorry? A book? It's a big thing full of paper and covered in words. Once Immo sobers up he'll explain the rest

Fuck me this stuff is way over my head, it's certainly "clever". So what does it say to you, you know explain the "meaning" of the piece to me. I get the western theme. Is it about John Wayne? I love John Wayne me.

Yes. It's all about John Wayne. And Lee van Cleef.

You didn't even get the western theme of the piece......did you?

There's a western theme?

You didn't though did you? You go to these things not because you like them........not because you think you'll be enlightened. You go to them because you think it'll make you look clever. It doesn't........it's all wank.

That's a highly original and stupendously dumb "only going because it makes you look clever...art is all wank" theory. Still carry on showing off your ignorance, it's entertaining

Where did I say "art is all wank"? I could go to one of those exhibitions and say "that's clever". Doesn't mean I have an appreciation of what the artist is trying to convey. Your post is more "look at me", than look at this art.

I'm not sure why you seem so intent on making your point, but yeh whatever. It's a messageboard mate, get over it.

I know why I go to these things. I don't really care why you think I go.

I like showing my ignorance. I thought it was about cowboys and indians......pffft!!


Do you impress many burds wi' this sensitive side of yourself? I can see you, "look at that Phylis, it's rather clever".

Oooh I like the Tramway Mo, it's a great space. I've not got time to get there this week, but I always like Degree Show exhibitions

ill take my genius wherever the fuhk i like thanks

Heres my culture, from my dose of the clap

More a round of applause. Wahey!!!

I don't know much about art........but I can feign an interest to impress people.
