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? In this funny and boisterous panel at The Festival of Dangerous Ideas, the risky nature of all forms of art is explored in all of its beauty.

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