Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 If you want to know whether something is art, there is no better guide than Grayson Perry's Reith lectures, I think it's the second one where he gives his own rules for how to tell if you're looking at art or bullshit. They're on the iPlayer for free download and are fantastic. John F, Bear, Richard and 1 other 4

AlabamaShrimp Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Aww they should have sent it to China saying it was some kind of prototype Junkman and Banger Kenny 2

Guest Hooli Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 If nothing else, they broke the mould with this stunt. Junkman, HH-R and anonymous user 3
Guest Hooli Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I can't believe no-one has got a pun about the clay being fired in yet.
HH-R Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 No HGF worries with this one, it stayed clay cold throughout.
Aston Martin Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Why not just put a thin layer of clay over a real 75?
Fabergé Greggs Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Why not hammer a smaller clay 75 over a 75? Brodders 1
Fabergé Greggs Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 The health and safety doesn't look up to much- they're lucky they didn't kiln anybody.
Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 The funniness level of these 'jokes' follows almost exactly the profile of the ramp used in the Rover stunt. Richard, chaseracer, Pillock and 1 other 4
Heidel_Kakao Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 https://youtu.be/sI5QcgGoQBM The final post event video has been posted to YouTube. Plenty of crash footage at the end. Enjoy. Dick Cheeseburger and Dave_Q 2
Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Yo H_K!!! I am 99.6% certain you are on that video!!! Heidel_Kakao 1
Heidel_Kakao Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 At what point? I kept trying to see if I could spot myself as you do but didn't see anything.
alcyonecorporation Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Some arsehole did a full page spread on this in last week's Classic Car Buyer.
RoadworkUK Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I can smell that clay from here. I still find bits of clay from my Cov Uni days on CD cases I took into the studio. That sulphurous tang takes ages to leave your nostrils.
Alan_Green Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Erm...shouldn't it have smashed into a million tiny clay pieces? Wasn't that the statement? That was hardly even a Cat D. Salvageable, unlike... lisbon_road and adw1977 2
LostnotFound Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 What a cracking effort. As other people have said more of that 30k will have been ploughed back into the local economy, from the crane operators to the riggers so far from wasted no matter the result. I'd guess as it wasn't fired that's why it didn't shatter? Perhaps a dull thud rather than a big crash is more fitting as a way of representing the impact on the midlands economy? That's the fun with art someone does something odd and leaves us all to come up with our own theories. Mr_Bo11ox and Heidel_Kakao 2

This idea that Duchamp put forward that anything could be art that he decided was art, intellectually I think you know people engaged with it a bit. Not everybody liked it, I can imagine at the time, but it took quite a long time for people to really kind of get up on that idea and really get going with it. And it was in the 60s when it finally really came to fruition. And artist Robert Rauschenberg in 1961, he was asked to paint a portrait of a gallerist there called Iris Clert. And in response to this request, he just wrote a little telegram back to the person. He said, ‘This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so’. (LAUGHTER) And that was a work of art flat4alfa and John F 2
Sloth in a bowl Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 If that is art then Hensford Hills is the fucking national gallery. There is and should be a massive difference between ART and an EVENTArt is timeless, without boundaries and speaks of craft and skill as well as invention and imagination That was 5 seconds of a car rolling slowly off a ramp that P T Barnum would have jeered at, as if at a third rate side show. As you may guess, I am a tad disappoint. John F 1
