Welcome to The War

Is all art pretentious?


I don't know. Depends who you ask. But I hope to find out.

This is a HUGE work in progress. Like everything, it's changing and adapting to its surroundings as it goes. I would put money on this being absolutely different at the end to where it is now; but I'm not a betting guy.

I want to explore. Explore the worlds or art and pretension. Explore where they cross and become something - anything. A film, a painting, a logo; anything.

So join me - with a VERY open mind - as I try and answer the question:

Is all art pretentious?

Paddypower have 8/1 on me being pretentious myself,* those are good odds. But as I said, I don't bet. I don't want to be, but I guarantee that at some point throughout this journey someone somewhere will point the finger and say "You're being pretentious, you're a hypocrite!"

Here we go then. I'll build a team of broad and open minds and we'll work together to find out what the fuck is going on.

Please leave feedback, that's half of the investigation. Everyone has a brain (apparently) and every has an opinion.
