Classic de Bono: …thinking provides the ‘art’ Over the years Dr Edward de Bono has shared great insights through his messages. This series of blogs revisits some of those highlights.

…thinking provides the ‘art’.

  In London, the Turner prize for contemporary art was given to a work of art, which consisted of an empty room in which the light was alternately switched on and then switched off, in a repeating cycle. The viewer is invited to do a lot of brainwork in reading meaning and importance into this work. If you framed a door with a key inserted in a lock and placed this in an art gallery, then it would become art. This has nothing to do with beauty, the distillation of beauty, insight or revelation. There are contexts which demand you think about something. Your thinking provides the ‘art’.
