Miscellaneous Stuff

Please feel free to use this thread as a place where you can openly discuss other literature, music, stories, or events that you find interesting. Though this is a "book club," the point of this forum is to enhance your life through the means of art, no descriminations! If you read an intersting article in the New Yorker, share with others the piece and your thoughts. If you have recently attended a music festival, share your experience or memories... ((this all goes back to the whole humanism philosophy))

I just recently watched 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' which is [if you don't know] a film, in a sense, about street art. I don't want to go into detail for those who have not yet seen it, but in the end it poses the question: what is art? What Thierry Guetta created, the objects themselves, do they qualify as art? Or was his art in the process itself, his ability to become a street art icon essentially overnight? Or is Banksy (the defacto producer of the film) the artist, taking the sort of "natural experiment" that presented itself to him and creating a piece of art that was bigger than its constituent parts.

If you haven't seen the film, watch it, then get back with me.
