Hello Liz,

Hope you are well.

Recently you mentioned the lack of forum activity. I've been busy this past summer!

I've created my own modern art:

It's my new floor. I can't tell you what it means. It's unashamedly self-referential, even though critics working with the Tate would undoubtedly pan it.

Doing well, thank you......^^........

Floor is looking fine, nice balance of warm and cool colours. Sufficient texture to stay interesting and you can still clean it with a Swiffer. Well done.....'>.......

Salvatore Garau Sells Invisible Sculpture for 15,000 Euros
Salvatore Garau, a 67-year-old artist from Italy – at a time when the art world, like everybody else, is going through a very difficult time with the pandemic – has achieved a remarkable feat, which should be impossible to do, but he has sold an ‘invisible sculpture’ for the sum of €15,000 (£10,570).

Originally, the price was set at between €6,000 and €9,000 (£4,200 and £6,350), but when he kept receiving more offers, the price increased and he ended up selling it for the higher amount.

Garau’s sculpture – christened ‘Io sono’ (I am) – is an immaterial sculpture, which, in so many words, means it does not exist, or that if it did exist, then it only exists in the mind of its creator, with many art skeptics criticising the artist’s curious creation, but Garau’s response is that he has not sold ‘nothing, but has sold a vacuum.

Garau explained it, The vacuum is nothing more than a space full of energy, and even if we empty it and there is nothing left, according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, that nothing has a weight. Therefore, it has energy that is condensed and transformed into particles, that is, into us”.

The Italian artist continued, “When I decide to ‘exhibit’ an immaterial sculpture in a given space, that space will concentrate a certain amount and density of thoughts at a precise point, creating a sculpture that, from my title, will only take the most varied forms. After all, don’t we shape a God we’ve never seen?”, as reported by as.com.

The artist points out that his work can not be displayed just anywhere, but must be located in a space measuring about 150×150 cm, that is free from obstructions, with lighting and climate control being optional, as you can’t see the object anyway, all which will be detailed in a signed and stamped guarantee certificate from the artist to the buyer.

This Friday 28, Garau had another one of his invisible sculptures – ‘Aphrodite Piange’ (Aphrodite cries) – being exhibited in New York, a piece which is another immaterial sculpture that, supposedly, rests on a circle drawn on the ground, which is the only thing that is visible, and the artist claims that with these works of art, he has started “a new, small, authentic revolution”.

His first invisible sculpture, called ‘Buddha in contemplation’, was placed 25 metres from the entrance to the Gallerie d’Italia, in Milan’s Piazza della Scala, in the Intesa San Paolo exhibition grounds, where, among other things, there is a large canvas of Garau.

Artworks that mimic soft porn, showcase embalmed animals, mock the Pope, and otherwise offend propriety are filling auctions, museums, and galleries.
Is there anything left to be upset about?

I suppose in this case being upset is optional

Lots of silly stuff, but music performance, sound sample & stock photo nft’s seem useful and could disrupt a lot of corporate middlemen.

Possibly. Good point.

Wonder if it could rectify the disaster that streaming has been to musicians.

Recall a film "The Art of the Steal" wherein an art forger tells a story about the theft of the Mona Lisa [true] and the thieves making multiple copies, while keeping the original, and selling the copies to various eager collectors for a fortune [false].
