How much?
--
Democracy has bad taste : what is quality, how might we judge it, whose
opinion
counts, and does it even matter any more?
--
Beating the bounds : what counts as
art
? Although we live in a era when anything can be
art
, not everything qualifies ; Nice rebellion, welcome in! : is
art
still capable of shocking us or have we seen it all before?
--
I found myself in the
art
world : how do you become a contemporary artist?
--
The end.
Summary:
Grayson Perry wants to show that any of us can appreciate
art
. A funny, personal journey through the
art
world that answers the questions that might occur to us in an
art
gallery but that we're too embarrassed to ask. What is good or bad
art
? Is
art
still capable of shocking us or have we seen it all before? Grayson Perry is one of Britain's most celebrated artists. His 2013 BBC TV Reith Lectures were the most popular since the series began.
