Art

It is said that practically everything is art. Although my definition of art is: anything that requires effort to do. But one thing is art and another completely different is beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say. So let me talk about two things. One is beautiful and the other isn't, but both of them are art.

The first thing, the non-beautiful one was a sculpture exposition done at my campus a few weeks ago. I don't remember the name of the artist. But the main idea of his art was:

1. It had to be an ugly shade of brown.
2. It had to look drippy.

To be frank those sculptures looked like if they were made of shit. I thought of that exposition as something really ugly and distasteful. I even left a comment about that to the author stating that. That my friends may be art but definitely is not beautiful to me.

The second thing, the beautiful one was a series of photographs made by Wayne Martin Belger. I stumbled on his page two nights ago and I must say that his way of doing art like that is unique and beautiful. What do I mean? well he creates his own photographic cameras. He uses the pinhole camera to be more precise.

But what strikes me the most is the design of the cameras themselves. Each of them is unique and special. You have to see them to understand what do I mean.

Go to the camera and photos gallery and check each of the cameras, what are they composed of and what kind of pictures can be taken. I like especially the HIV and the skull cameras.


Why cant my college ITESM-CEM create an exposition with the art of Wayne?

Peace everybody.

On a side note I finished my first quarter term of exams last week. Everything seemed to be easy and I didn't get rapped on my most feared exam. =D
