This is what my work would look like if it was in the national gallery in leeds. The plinth and the glass case give it importance and make people it is art. Unlike when it is in the rubbish people would just asume it was meaningless even though it would be exactly the same thing. Maybe the plinth is actually more important than what's in it. Maybe I should just display an empty plinth but I think people have done that before. I am going to put my work on a plinth for the exibition even though this might be selling out my principles it looks better than it does on the floor and people wont sweep it up. I could say it was ironic because I am puting ideas which I have rejected in an important position.

I tried to experiment with different ways of presenting my pile of paper. This one with spiderman drowning in it was me trying to make out that the pile of paper was really big. I wanted it to be really big but I couldnt chew fast enough. I just wanted a figure of a miniture man so that the pile of paper would look huge in comparison spiderman was the only one I could find but I like it because it looks funny

I also tryed putting them in the pile of rubbish outside. This is the opposite of puting them in an art gallery because it making a statement that they are completly valueless. It is the place where most rejected things end up so because they are rejected thoughts and ideas this is probably where they'd end up if I wasnt trying to use them in my project.


I put these ones in my draw and in the pile of crap in my room because this is where most of my art work ends up eventualy. Also in my earlier blog I decided that because my art work was about my own lack of ability to think of good ideas i was the only real audience for it because I am the only person that effects so it should go in my own bedroom. But I have rethought that and now I think It would be relevent to other art students who cant think of good ideas.

I saw the man with 3 ears (Stelios Arcadiou) when I was watching this morning to start with i thought he must be growing it for a friend that was missing an ear but then he said it was performance art. The hosts asked him how it was art how is it asthetically pleasing or meaningfull in anyway. He said that Art was an escape from the mundane which I thought was an interesting quote. It is like the opposite of the artistic stereotype of cutting off your own ear because he is growing a new one it has the same element of attention seeking though, look at me i'm growing a new ear! He said it took him 10 years to pursuade a surgeon to actually put it in his arm. He said he is planning to install transmitters in his new ear , so people listen to what he's hearing online. This is very wierd its like the whole world is listening through his arm he says his work is about virtual reality.
