Art journal #131: Intelligence Squared Asia "Does art need to be beautiful?"

Of course I think not! One of the best lines - "if the world is full of beautiful things, then it'd be really boring. Beauty is nice, but ugliness provokes, and is far far more interesting!" Agree!

Interesting debate. Ming is the ultimate exhibitionist - stripped off on stage and turned from a woman to a man! Stephen Bayley was witty. Simon de Pury was energetic and full of stories to tell. Lars Nittve from M+ was the perfect moderator. Great event!
