(Meg) Article : Copies, fakes, or authorized reproductions

Immendorff: Copies, fakes or authorised reproductions?

This article was interesting because it made me think about if a copy is valued as an original?

Well in this article, it's not. But I guess it got me thinking about what we consider to be an art original? Made from the artist, or from the printers. Museums sometimes ruin artwork for me. I rather see art as a function, a reproduction that I can own. Contemporary art is frustrating for me. I guess I'm seeing art more for the people instead of just for a person.

(Meg) Article : Pet Shop

Pet Shop 

I got this review from the NY Times Website. I thought this artwork was amusing and weird. 

"I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, " Banksy said in a statement distributed by a publicist, "but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing."

I always wanted art to be this form of strict entertainment. But I guess that would just totally contradict what I learned in art school. I guess art would then lose it's value, if just simply served as a "piece of art." I liked this piece. I thought it was funny and entertaining. But it has the debate of animal rights all over it. Like a fat kid on an ice cream.
