IN THE ART WORLD
There are many cheap thrills to be had in the art world. Andy Warhol knew this better than many. And the performance artists of yore celebrated the fact with delights such as Meat Joy in 1964 (see preview, Body Parts). Maybe because it's so rich in soul, intelligence and heart, visual art doesn’t need to reap financial gains. Or maybe it’s the public subsidies and wealthy private investors? Whatever it is, in general the average punter is saved from rumaging in their pockets to enjoy. Hurray, aren‘t we lucky!
In addition to the open doors policy of all public and private galleries, with the exception of the odd special exhibition, it’s also worth noting that Edinburgh offers a free bus service between the National Galleries so you can get from the centre of town out to the suburbs without wearying your feet.
Another tip for getting the most out of your friendly local galleries is to swat up on when exhibitions are opening. There’ll generally be a private view the night before. If you swing by, you can generally pick up a free bottle of beer, glass of wine and some gossip.
Galleries are also rather good at putting on free discussions and talks, and sometimes even films. 80 it turns out, then, that old elitist art is the most democratic form of them all. Cheap thrills for everyone.
