Is it Art?
Inspired by Grayson Perry's Reith lectures on the boundaries of art. The lectures are very funny and not at all high falutin - get them on catch up BBC Radio 4 (where else?) or here's a snippet from the first one - Democracy has Bad Taste.
I particularly liked his take on photography (blippers beware):
"How do you tell if a photo is art? We live in an age now where photography rains on us like sewage from above - you know endless Instasnaps on your phone everywhere. So how do you tell if a photo’s art? Well you could sort of go just looking at are they smiling? If they’re smiling, it’s probably not art."
