A silly story…

I really didn’t want to be at the gallery.

‘What’s that?’  I asked pointing at a pile of old chairs.  I just wanted to know why it was considered art, but my simple question set him off.

‘It’s a representation of the challenges one has to overcome in order to attain a lofty position in one’s life; the obstacles, the mishaps, the errors one encounters as one climbs ever upward to the reach one’s throne on high’.

‘So which one’s the throne?’  I asked.

‘That’s subjective, a matter of one’s desires, one’s abitions’ he replied. 

‘Okay,’ I said, ‘I’d aim for… that one’.

‘The one on the left?’

‘No the one on the right’.

‘Not the one right in the middle?’

Time to change the subject I thought.

‘I brought some sandwiches. Would you like one?’

‘Ooh, shall I have this one or that one?’

‘That depends on one’s culinary tastes, one’s appetency’ I said, somewhat sarcastically!  He took the cheese one.  I grabbed us a couple of chairs.  Bad move, since unbeknown to me they were part of the artwork and it began to collapse! 

‘Imagine if the throne landed on one’s head’ I chuckled!

‘Well, one’s…..’  and of he went again!

    Maybe not so silly. There is an artist in Detroit who makes art sculpture out of what he finds in people’s trash.

      Now, why doesn’t that surprise me? Some people see art in all things. Cheers, Denise.

    Ah … well … 😉 This was fun! (I’d duck if I were you, though. I think that top one is about to fall down …)
