I've never really thought about cage fighters before. | |||

"Just watched it as well. Very powerful program the suicide rates of men is frightening. It's at least the same level here in Ireland. Perry creates amazing art that is thought provoking but accessible." The suicide rate in men is something that needs to be talked about more. NE England having such high rates is shocking. There was a piece on Woman's Hour yesterdat about modern masculinity - Man Up: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b078w8rk | |||

Is Perry commercialised?"He has a profile so it's inevitable at some level. I mean all art, not just those bits that sell for whatever fashionable reason. | |||

"Well that's the trick you usually have to be dead before you can make money at art. All artists lose control of their work in the end. If Perry can make money and do something else with it, then fine. | |||

"Just watched it as well. Very powerful program the suicide rates of men is frightening. It's at least the same level here in Ireland. Perry creates amazing art that is thought provoking but accessible." I think the male suicide rates in the Republic and Northern Ireland have risen 50% over a 10 year period - it's alarmingly sad. | |||

"Most artists lose money on their art. I have a house full and only sell a small number. Then again painting for money ruins creativity unless you are excellent and have a reputation. I'm Lucky to get some commissions on work i have alReady started Not paint what other people want. | |||

"Proper thoughtful and thought-provoking art. I'm looking forward to the conclusion next week. " All art is thought provoking. If you embrace this doctrine, proper art proliferates exponentially. | |||

"Just watched the banker one. I think he went in with a prejudice and saw what he wanted to see. I liked the picture but that's because I share some of his prejudice! As an artist he let himself down on objectivity. " Unusually, I agree with you... in part. I think they gave him a fair bit to reinforce the prejudice, but he did go with a pre-formed idea of what he would produce. | |||

I would have been more interested in a piece about the alpha male being calm, unemotional and regimented (geek) as opposed to shouting and yelling in some pit (ape) that we saw at the start. He kept saying how high rise buildings are cock shaped - how the fuck else are you supposed to build them? Dig a tunnel in the ground just so it looks like a pussy!?! | |||

I think it was the thrusting nature of lets build bigger/we need to be in the tallest building as much as the phallic nature of high rise buildings. Cocks are everywhere. | |||

" Could be, I hadn't honestly thought of that angle. But I'd just see it as trying to cram as many offices onto as little land as possible, which makes sense for labour intensive work. | |||
