yeah, but is it art?

i've not written in here for a while. slapped wrist. that'll have to be a new years resolution i suppose. lots to write about. fab holiday (see photos), work xmas do, not to mention close encounters of the orlando kind. one thing that caught my eye i wanted to write about was something that happened a few weeks back. some guy called michael stone burst into the irish assembly with some homemade explosives. now, that in itself isn't anything i'd usually comment on but this week he appeared in court where his lawyer gave the defense that, instead of trying to blow the place up, kill oodles of people and throw the irish peace process off course it was all in fact a piece of perforance art. if it wasn't all quite so serious, it'd be hilarious. it must have been a real eureaka moment when they band up with that stroke of genius. i've not been to see the turner prize yet this year, but i reckon he's probably made himself an early favourite for next year.
