But is it art?

Grey Granite recently took a walk round the lighthouse and Broadsea shore area of Fraserburgh. In the net drying green she saw the remains of a community knitting project carried out last year. Although some individual pieces of knitting are witty and fun,Grey Granite cannot decide is it :
  • a fun art project enhancing the area?
  • a waste of resources and skills which could have gone into a more obviously useful project such as blankets for earthquake victims?
  • merely an eyesore detracting from the utilitarian heritage value of the poles?
  • Will the knitting be left to decay untidily?

  1. I also question some community projects. Do they have a clear strategy for the project with the full planning cycle taken into consideration.
