Even Art critics reveal the meaning beyond Damien Hirst' s work, and viewers argue it in from of his' The Young Scientist' which copies from a toy, a lot of visitors in a long queue to see his works in Tate. I was thinking what difference between 'the scientist' in Tate Modern and the similar status in Whitechaple Gallery. Any work goes into Tate Modern can become valuable art? The art needs to like products to do promotion like DH in order to draw a plenty of visitors? Like movie stars both negative and positive judgement are good to them and to be more famous?  A small gift shop on the dark corner in Tate, selling various skull souvenirs, on the back of Skull T-shirt put on the words of 'Damien Hirst', which seems to turn into like 'Armani'. What is art? when I watch Dada in Tate Modern, something like surrealism. Suddenly I catch an idea, these uneasy understand paintings that artists express in 2D, while artists in this era manifest in 3D, taking tangible stuff displayed, and this 3D that Piccaso used 2D to present. What is real art? Julian Spalding explains, the traditional language of painting, drawing and sculpture-all personal, artistic voices-were dismissed as obsolete, reactionary, capitalist and egotistic. Everything now had to be mechanically reproduced and priority was given to think over making. And of course everything had to shock the public. if it could, in its puerile attempt to be trivially new. Moreover, emptiness is essential for con art. Found objects can only be art in art galleries. Real art is always positive, for if it wasn't why would anyone make it or want it? Con art is negative because it gives us nothing. (06.04.12)
