We have seen the Mark Wallinger exhibition on line in our political philosophy session, where do the profits from MR Wallingers exhibition go? To him? to the Tate?

Liam and Noel said 'you've got to be yourself' and I am a nightclub bouncer, so I wont cut me and use the blood to write RESIGN RESIGN RESIGN on expensive watercolour paper because that would be contrived, but I would like it if Parlaiment had a vote of no confidence, how you can you have a PM saying yes I'm resigning maybe today or next month depends on my holiday plans. Totally outrageous, there is nothing to be scared of, even the tate are showing anti war propaganda by well healed, soft lad, right on, 30 something 'artists'. Boot the posh boy out asap. Mr Blur. I hope the Irish wait till he's gone to sign anything because I wouldnea trust the bloke, he is just interested in being famous without being able to play guitar or deal with law properly

Jeff, I like to think that my art work is worthy of a place in the Tate, yes why not? anything is possible. Once in 1986 when I had al my own teeth, I brought a portfolio of my work to a professor at a leading university art department, we had a discussion about italian futurists but he said that I needed to lose my grange hill accent. But poncey accents for art students are right out now. Grandma was at Glasgow School of art just after the first world war but being from the east end she had to curtail and become an inspirational teacher to me and many others, so it might be in my genes. Maybe I will make the right shape or hit upon a formula to appeal to the decision makers, the important thing is to keep trying and forget no for an answer. But its like asking if I'll win the national lottery one day, its about being out there doing it. Youve got to be in it to win it. Last week I had a big argument with my wife because she chose the wrong numbers again, unbelievable. Surrounding yourself with people and material culture which float your boat improves productivity, I find. My Christmas dinner was worthy of a place at the tate I'm telling you. The secret is in getting a good dead bird to start with, there are a few morsels left in my freezer for a soup at some stage but if you'd have been there for the duck pate, salmon starter followed by all the trimmings with a brandy laddened pud to finish you would have come. It was a work of art and I got laid the following morning. Do take care of yourself and lets hope 2007 is a good year, mine has started really not that well, but that's irrelevant. Goodbye

the new breed of artist's haunting the web, shying away from the 'in your face'exploitation of the critics pages are producing art for the masses. involving the masses,yet exciting us all, xlandphoto is a prime example, (yahoo it) fresh, secretive, and most of all, real, not hiding behind the so called celebrity effect that sadly destroys the true cause. take note daimien and banksey...

Hi I was in Tate Modern today meet friend there who wanted to know "If the doors of percepion are closed at the Tate and who are they then closed too then but only opened to people vary much like themselfs " Note artists who cant paint and draw and scuplure they have said it in the Art press so its not as if we dont know who they are or anything is it. One clearly said it the other day on your BBC airwaves and fellow A.C.stated that one winner was not good at scuplure and perhaps they should go back to day job just add them all up how many have stated i cant do this or that in art . These are well placed Art people too and employ other people who can do what they cant do but can do conceptal so the winner one year should be perfomance artist so are the doors closed . A.C.

The Liquid Room Our post-literary age, already fascinated by the ''liquid architecture in cyberspace'' (Marcos Novak), liquid identities and everyday liquid contacts between people, is focused on lightweight infrastructures in motion, the ''musical'' structures of light, sound and colours, the ability to transform visual arts into urbanism shows or the real need to sense the reality as a fluid network of individuals, art and technology. I imagine The Liquid Room as a kind of metaphysical box where inner, outer and techno worlds are interconnected and interchangeable to build non-linear and non- aristotelian expressive forms of life&thinking &art. The liquid walls become the tools for the unificatioon of codes (visual, verbal, sonor or kynetical) in our strange spiritual transition from the stability of things to the mobility of the images. The narrativity of such new forms is far of equilibrium, non-aristotelian and focused on jump, intuition and synthesis, on interactivity, integration and immersion. The non-repeatable and continuously developing structures of The Liquid Room have the characteristics of a living entity who breathes new ways of communication, new realities and meanings. The Liquid Room is a metaphor for the non-separability, fluid and transparence. A topos where the topological spaces and the functions live the eternal paradox of the plurality into unity, in order to avoid the vaccum of the evil (the evil is separation, many major thinkers asserted). The Liquid Room is an anti- separation unit, a true archetype for the genuine communication. In our bizarre transition which stresses more on onthology than on gnosiology, the door is opened to a free, uncontrolled coexistence of multiple and temporary identities, like the identity changes of the misterious neutrino particles. An age characterized by a very rich offer of interactivity will develop and encourage a liquid identity (its assembling node being replaced by fuzzy) for the people, who will be maybe more flexible to share their own self with the others (like a God's bread), in our Global Liquid Room.
