Yes, but is it art?

Well, that is GI in Glasgow over for another 2 years......trading heavily on the 'Glasgow Miracle' (ie lots of Weegie wins in the Turner Prize) GI prides itself on pushing boundaries and making Daily Mail readers choke on their weetybangs.
This year the popular media focussed on three contenders in the 'But is it art?' game: Jeremy Deller's 'bouncy castle Stonehenge', Karla Black's 'giant Tiramisu' and The Commonty's own Matt Baker (working with ts Beall) bombarding Partick with obsolete technology in 'GI's most literally combative show' (Herald).
