    Re: Art? or Theft? or just signs that NPR is damaged. —Dave Schuler
   (...) Let me see if I understand this. If I go into a store and put a LEGO set in my cart, walk around for an hour or so, and then return that LEGO set to a shelf very near where I'd first picked it up, then I've committed a crime? (...) That's a (...) (21 years ago, 13-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Art? or Theft? or just signs that NPR is damaged. —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) I don't think so. Hmm. You've come up with a good counterexample, at least on the surface. The easy counter is to discuss intent, your intent presumably was to buy the items til you changed your mind, while she (being an HD hater with a (...)

        Re: Art? or Theft? or just signs that NPR is damaged. —Dave Schuler
   (...) I can't comment on Mr. Schlkbrnd's patronage, but I think you've otherwise made your strongest point. If she's making a profit at HD's expense, then HD is within its rights to try to recoup its share of that profit (and that's in addition to (...)

        Re: Art? or Theft? or just signs that NPR is damaged. —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) I am pressed for time, lots of LEGOWORLD prep I gotta do, so... briefly... (if such is possible) The original post I made sort of took as a given (because it was stunningly obvious to me, anyway) that what she's doing is morally wrong, and was (...)

        Re: Art? or Theft? or just signs that NPR is damaged. —Dave Schuler
     (...) Take your time with a response, if any. LEGOWORLD understandably takes precedence over OT ruminations... (...) The bogging appears to focus on *how wrong* her act was/is, rather than on whether or not it is wrong in some absolute sense. To (...) (21 years ago, 13-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Art? or Theft? or just signs that NPR is damaged. —Bruce Schlickbernd
   (...) It seemed stunningly obvious to me that in large part you decided that the artist and NPR were indulging in some sort of anti-corporate crusade in regards to this particular case, evidence that I simply did not see. You've repeated the charge (...) (21 years ago, 13-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Art? or Theft? or just signs that NPR is damaged. —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) From (URL) (one of the links given in the article): " Ms. Nagorka's use of Home Depot as off-site site underscores an element of social critique present in the work: which is more suitable as a matrix within which to make works of art, the (...)

        Re: Art? or Theft? or just signs that NPR is damaged. —Larry Pieniazek
     For some other perspectives on this: (URL) Clean up Sculpture on Aisle 9!> (these include people who purport to work for HD, and people who purport to be the gallery owner I cited in my last post, and a bunch of other voices) This has been an (...)

        Re: Art? or Theft? or just signs that NPR is damaged. —Dave Schuler
   (...) I don't care enough to research the full breadth of Ms. Nagorka's work (which I likewise find disappointingly pedestrian), but the passage you cite strikes me as a critique by Debs & Co. rather than a formal declaration of intent by the (...)

        Re: Art? or Theft? or just signs that NPR is damaged. —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) Apparently so, Dave! (...) Sure, Dave! ALL you have to do is let me get the last word, Dave! That's really not so hard, you know, Dave! (speaking of debates (internal in this case), I'm torn between taking the bullet train or taking more (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

   (...) Well, your clothing won't get you there as fast, but if you wear the bullet train, you'll probably be overdressed. Dave! (21 years ago, 14-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
