I love that it's an angled door shot much like the one in the Hellingly gallery, but it has a very different feeling to it (again, sterile). I wonder how that one door got to be dirty and the others are clean?

So sterile looking. It has its own charm. :D

Brick spotting!

Amazing colours!

Eerie. The sort of room I'd hate to be in alone.

Which of course, means it's my favourite in the gallery thus far.

Love the angles of the doors. I'm almost expecting something to jump out of the first one.

I want to make a clever remark, but I don't know what to say!

It's just...beyond whatever is good. It's good...er. :P

Great shot. I love how tiny the windows seem compared to the size of the tower.

Dang. That's too high up for me. O_o Beautiful view, though.

Yes, clocks!!!

The lighting versus the dark doorway is a bit disconcerting...and it seems like one is standing inside a large eye.

I feel like I want to run down the hallway.

W00t new gallery! I love how the staircase looks nearly perfect, except for a few crumblies up top.

And just to press my point, I think most people would agree with me if I said it would be sad to see graffiti on something like Worcester State Hospital, which is far beyond beautiful on it's own.

Well, I find that it's very easy to declare "such-and-such is not art," simply because it's an immediate reaction. I agree that most forms of grafitti are not art, but the example you (Quiet Noises) posted is. There are some who may tag once in a while, but don't feel the need to plaster grafitti on every surface. And while some grafitti isn't "art," it's a fact of life (to quote Puddleboy) and we just deal with it. If I don't like it, I don't have to look at it or do it...I don't need to go out of my way to seek out taggers and tell them "that's not art."

I think it would be slightly more understandable if when someone says "that's not art," they step back and think about what they consider art. You may find that someone has said the same thing about your type of art (such as comic books...I find them to be art, my former art teacher doesn't).

Without a doubt, my favourite photo in the gallery...
