“That’s a hell lot of money to pay for painted pipes, and make it occupy pride of place.”
“Remember the theme of the conference – Recycling Waste. We needed symbolic art.”
“Hmmm… I wonder who is wasting what. We have energized some deep pockets … not sure of the research notes those speakers are doling out inside.”
“It is true of all conferences. People need to post pictures on their websites and social media accounts.”
Wonderful.

Maybe it would have been better to get an NGO to actually ‘make’ recycled art.

Recycled art is positive, without the astronomical price tags attached to it.

Some show is important for a conference. Does not matter whose pocket is being energised.As regards to research notes, who reads them anyway. May be a few serious scientific types.

So art-works speak louder than words? Interesting concept.

Thank you, Liz! I guess it is time to change the theme. This one has been around for long.

Granted visual images are necessary, to what extent does the publisher have a responsibility for the quality of the art? Bad art is like bad food – it will make you ill if you’re exposed to too much of it.

You bring up a good point. It’s like the irony of $500 a plate fundraisers to raise money for poverty. Seems like the money could be used better.
