Art

Sports Illustrated has a great little article this week by Laura Barton. I didn't find it online, and it's not worth buying a copy for so I'll just tell you about it. David Beckham, far and away the most popular athlete in the world posed for Sam Taylor-Wood, a young British artist. The "art" consists of a 67 minute video of Becks sleeping.

Barton asks "What is it about this man, with his metro-sexual style, his pop-star wife and his oddly named sons, [Brooklyn and Romeo] that holds our attention?"

Hmmm, Laura, I don't know...maybe it's because he's beautiful. The world likes beauty - there's nothing complex or artistic about it.
