Art? Enjoy. Destroy.
“Nothing much happened at first .. After about an hour, I got my first nutter.”
He doesn´t know a thing about art. But being a former bouncer, Dave
gets hired to guard a controversial piece of art. “Jesus on the Cross”
is ten feet high by six feet wide and was created in a, well, let’s say,
different sort of way. There are people out there who won´t like it,
and there are many ways of looking at it. While Dave develops his own
relation to art and this particular piece, he begins defending it
against his wife, the media and a whole bunch of religious fanatics.
Then the shit hits the fan. In the end, his troubles come from an
unexpected side.

And who gets to decide what is art and what is not? How manipulative is the art world? Nick Hornby has a few interesting suggestions.
