19 November 2009The question of what makes good art is something that has been debated long before the invention of the crayon. Somewhere in the murky waters of subjectivity, the differing roles of art continue to challenge the minds of audiences. Does a particular work exist to provoke, to inspire or merely to entertain?

WARNING - The following talk is rated MA+. It contains very coarse language.
