Into The Wild Chris McCandless‚ fool or hero? I say fool. What was he thinking? What could drive a man to abandon everything‚ his family‚ friends and even possession to pursue an Idealism that eventually led to his own death? What can I make of this tremendous tragedy?

When we were growing up we were taught that art was a beautiful painting - like Van Gogh’s Sunflowers‚ or a perfect sculpture of a human - like Michelangelo’s David‚ but we were never really taught that conceptual and contemporary art were ’proper’ forms of art‚ even though it was established in the sixties. It made us think and challenge our own assumptions of what art should really
