"Conceptual art is art in which the concept(s) or idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns." - The Internet
Rune Guneriussen is a conceptual artist and photographer from Norway. He uses man-made objects placed mostly in nature to tell a story. Ever since I first saw photographs and documentaries on the installations of the more well-known Christo and Jeanne-Claude,I've been intrigued by displays of this variety. There is something wonderfully pointless about it all and it amuses me to no end. Maybe that is the whole point anyway. Some might argue that spending time/energy/money to create an installation that will simply be photographed and then dismantled is insane. To them I would say that is probably accurate, and also, have you ever seen that show cake boss? Because that's how I feel about those stupid cakes.
