(...) John, I both agree and disagree with parts of what you say here. First of all I do believe that LEGO is an art medium.

My mom gave me this article a few years ago, and I thought it was really unrealistic, because the picture showed the policeman (SS Trooper?) hitting a skeleton minifigure with a club. I also thought it was a bit much for the artist to use LEGO (...) (25 years ago, 30-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Hello John; I certainly don't want to get into a huge debate with you... :-) But I would be happy to participate in a civilized discussion. I am not one who normally goes to art exhibitions or one who has a passion for art; both viewing and (...) (25 years ago, 30-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
