the art of collecting

This is a project uses a blog to create a collection of Art. The collection of Art is focused on real people named art. Here, this simple gesture attempts to question the values and assumptions of language, identity and authenticity. This relies heavily on the use of a language based pun, which I hope will engage people in a conversation about, art, collecting and the rhetoric of this system. I also hope it brings a smile to you.

If you would like to contribute send a photo of the person named Art sent to me, along with the name of the person who has the copyright to the photo and if, either the photographer or the Art wants to be linked, any websites.

Images can be sent via email at looking4art (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thanks and enjoy the arts!
