It's the middle of one of those slow, dragging, stressful weeks. To cheer myself up I've been reading about Anat Ben-David, this electroclash/avant-garde artist living and working in LONDON*. I find her a bit hit and miss, but I'm intrigued enough to look at going to her next gig, if she gets any more, that is.

I think Art is where we explore and examine things in a more human way than science does, and so I try not to diss artists just because I don't understand what they are doing. Ben-David has some nice touches, but then spoils it all by coming out with stuff which you'd expect from a five-year old. But is it because I just don't understand her that she sounds to me that she just doesn't understand what she is trying to do?

Or it could be that people are only into art by people like that because they want to be into something which not many other people are into but also don't want to be totally alone with it. Right?

Humbug!!
