I’ve dug deep inside myself and just decided to do ten minutes of basic work

How’d you feel about Anish Kapoor’s appropriation of it? I’ve got huge gaps in my knowledge when it comes to art as a general field, but controversies such as that interest me.

I really like his work but it’s a shame he claimed it
Some of the alternate interpretations and use cases within art could/will be absolutely mind blowing

I need to see some of this in real life. I cant compute how its not just a black circle plopped onto it in ms paint.

Anyone remember this? Apparently just looks like black painted circle on the floor

There is another artist who is inventing other colours like the pinkest pink and lots more and anyone can buy them apart from Anish Kapoor. They come with a disclaimer that if you’re Anish Kapoor, you can’t buy this product. He claims to be working on a black that will be just as good too.

I read that Kapoor had got some of the pink and posted a picture on instagram of his middle finger coated in it, so he sounds like a giant immature penis but I dunno if that stands for a bold statement of righteous defiance in the art world.

I saw an Anish Kapoor vantablack artwork in Naples earlier this year and thought it looked really cool, looked like a hole in the floor but with no defined point, was wild.
The whole thing with him ‘claiming’ it for himself is grossly misinterpreted. People make out as if he bought rights to it and has a monopoly on it or something but the reality is Vantablack only sell the rights to very specific people and it’s not commercially available and he’s the only person they’ve allowed to use it for in that way.

Also that Stuart Semple guy is a wanker too and his pigments aren’t actually that good and the whole anish kapoor thing is just his marketing strategy really.

You see, this is the kind of knowledge I get from this place over anywhere else. Anywhere else I’ve seen this discussed just paints (_heh_) Kapoor as evil and Semper as some kind of crusading maverick without exploring anything as to the whys and wherefores. Here there’s always someone more eloquent, knowledgeable and interested than I am, willing to give their time to share that.
N26 is the undisputed king of the internet and king may it reign.

> Poundbury is an experimental urban extension on the western outskirts of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England. The development is led by the Duchy of Cornwall, and had the keen endorsement of King Charles III when he was Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall. Under the direction of its lead architect and planner Léon Krier, its design is based on traditional architecture and New Urbanist philosophy. The 2021 census showed a population of 4,100.

Never knew about this. Found it out because of the King Charles connection…
Fuck all to skate by the looks of it, but props for not putting up another fucking new build town.

In theory Poundbury sounds cool. In reality it has a weird soulless vibe, kind of like a Barrett Homes built village from The Prisoner. Actually that makes it sound a damn sight more interesting than it is.

Ive seen similar new estates, which all seem to age very quickly. This one near Bognor has to be less than 8 years old and all the white rendered buildings are oozing muck.

Speaking of new build estates, Upton in Northampton actually has a bit of a plaza. Its been there a while and there were a few signs of skating, but i dont think ive seen any footage of the place.
Ive only been mid day in the week for work and the place was eerily quite.

Had to take a look on 'ol GMaps to see what the craic is, looks like most of it is knobbed or at least on those first ledges closer to the camera?
