Discussion "Art or Prank?"

We’re inviting you to Five o’clock tea at the AWC meeting. A lot of speaking practice and tea with cookies are guaranteed.

The topic for the meeting is “Art or Prank?” In 2005, artist Damien Hirst's dead shark is claimed to have been sold for $12 million. Why was the price so high? Where may modern artists derive inspiration? What messages might they try to transmit?

Come to the meeting to:
• discuss these questions
• watch a video about modern art, and
• and participate in debates.
