CREATIVITY STARTS WITH IDEAS AND WHAT YOU'VE GOT

BBC, today, has a special article and video on an artist who uses sticky tape to sculpt.
Watch the video and read the article. "An up-and-coming Japanese artist has devoted his life to creating and spreading art using adhesive tape.
Japan's Nerima Art Museum, which was built upon the grounds of a company which went on to become the country's first tape manufacturer Nichiban, is exhibiting his work.
Mauricio Olmedo-Perez reports.

European Art causes controversy.
"An art installation at the European Union Council building in Brussels, which is meant to poke fun at European stereotypes, is proving to be highly controversial.

The artwork, depicting the 27 EU countries, was commissioned by the Czech government, to coincide with their EU presidency. However it has left many people questioning, is it art?" Mark Mardell reports.

Czech bounces off people for art. "A Czech performance artist who brushes past people in the street is one of the attractions at an exhibition in Florida.

It seems that those with breath and talent will always create something of interest.
