The shed

[Shirley]

I went into Edinburgh today and saw this piece of "art".  Unfortunately, I  had not taken my camera, but you can see this on http://www.ricwarren.blogspot.com

So, take a look around your allotments and gardens to see if you have some art
If so, I hope your neighbours appreciate your talent  ;D ;D

i liked the quirkiness of it all but i made me think of flood victims :'(

I think the concept is interesting and it put me in mind of the work of the Turner Prize winner a few years back, Simon Starling, and his work 'Shedboatshed'.  But what I'd like to know is what sort of parents allow their children to climb over works of art?  Persumably the same ones who took their dogs into the livestock tents at the country show I visited today and the ones who allowed their kids to climb the pens.   >:(

maybe they were allowed too, some art is touch and kid friendly.

Sure and hear hear to that.  But the caption suggested otherwise?   ???

I'm a huge fan of modern art and have been taking  my daughter to various exhibs since she was a toddler.  My point is that children need to know the difference between 'look' and 'touch'.  One of the nicest things I saw today was kids making a game of leaping from one straw bale to the next without some health and safety official telling 'em it was dangerous.   ;D

i agree completely, i didn't pay close attention to the captions, but noticed adults sitting on them in other pics and so assumed they were the touchy type of art. :-\

ROFL!

What was the name of the dancing sheep company again?  (Head like a sieve me.)

I dunno about a little help, Lorna, Am' seems to manage perfectly well unassisted.   ;)

And if she tells any tales about me and Eddie Grundy it's all lies.   ;D

[Amazin]

It's called... er... Dancing Sheep.  ;)

And as for you and a certain Mr Grundy - well, I'll never look at a biodigester in the same way again. 

:o  ;D
