Not Quite Art – Series 2 out now!


Centuries ago, ‘art’ was something enjoyed by the wealthy upper class – for something to be considered ‘art’, it had to meet certain standard sand credentials, something only a trained artist was capable of producing. Since then, however, the concept of ‘art’ has changed considerably. Now, in the 21st century, it has been completely revolutionised. Marcus Westbury’s doco, Not Quite Art explores underground art and the culture that revolves around it – and part 2 is now complete.

The appropriately named series investigates less ‘traditional’ art and visual mediums and aims to uncover how artists might impact the very world they are trying to express.

In his first series, Marcus asks a number of people on the street where they would expect to find ‘art’ and it will come as no surprise that most people suggest “art galleries” and “museums”. It is Marcus’s goal however to not only find art in not so likely places, but to show us that ‘art’ is all around us.

I love this series – Marcus will take you on a journey around the globe, from the alleys of Melbourne, plastered with graffiti and haphazard photomontage to Glasgow, where it has become common practice for creative individuals to invade derelict warehouses and set up shop.

He offers a valuable insight on the not so common and brings strange, unusual and often ingenious ideas to the forefront.

I definitely recommend you check this out – I expect it will open up a couple new horizons as it did for me…

“Oh shnap” I hear you say “I missed the series -“

Not to fear:

All episodes from Series 1 and 2 (i suggest you get both) are available for download at ABC’s website –

Or simply click here.

Check it out, you wont be disappointed –

    It’s very straightforward to find out any topic on net as
    compared to books, as I found this article at this web page.

  41. tinyurl.com says:

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your
    articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
    However just imagine if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your
    posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images
    and clips, this website could undeniably be one of the greatest in its field.
    Great blog!

    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4
    year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely
    off topic but I had to tell someone!

  46. Marcus says:

  50. voyeur house says:

    I think what you posted was actually very reasonable.

    But, think about this, what if yyou were to create a awesoime title?

    I am not saying your content isn’t good., but what if you added something that makes people want more?
    I mean design tavern » Not Quite Art –
    Series 2 oout now! is kinda vanilla. You ouught to peek at Yahoo’s home page and
    see how they write post headlines to get peopoe interested.
    You ight add a related video or a picture or two to get people excited aout what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it might bring your blog a little livelier.

    my website … voyeur house
