Theme: Art & Entertainment
"Entertainment and art are not isolated... Entertainment is in art like colour in pictures."
- Martin Kippenberger
When we examine Art and Entertainment, there is a tendency to note how diametrically opposed they can be. Entertainment is often thought of as an event or activity that provides amusement and fun for the audience and participants. It implies a means towards enjoyment; a method of diversion from the serious trials and tribulations of daily life; a distraction from matters at hand. Through entertainment, we attain pleasure for pleasure's sake, and in being entertained, our minds are put in a state of relaxation. Entertainment could mean a state of playfulness, frivolity and levity - it is to be regarded as fun, to be consumed and then easily cast off and forgotten in time.
