The Extraordinary Tourist

Art in your couch.
Tuesday, August 07, 2007

It's a misconception that all art must be created.

There is an art style known a found objects where the artist simply 'finds' an object and presents it as art. French artist Marcel Duchamp started the concept with 'readymades' where he famously 'found' a mens urinal, signed someone else's name on it and called it art.

This opened the way for many artists to follow with all manor of objects from bricks to almost any item you can name being presented as art.

You too can join in this progressive style simply by looking down the back of your couch or underneath your teenagers bed. Who knows what artworks might be awaiting your discovery?

Fame and fortune is surely not far away.
