From the Guardian, a series of primers on ‘difficult’ art forms:

• Jonathan Freedland on minimalism
  

• Stuart Jeffries on installation art
  

• Stephen Poole on sound art
  

• Adam Sweeting on soap operas
  

• Gary Younge on country music
  

• Libby Brooks on performance art
  

• Giles Foden on pottery
  

• Claire Armistead on video art
  

• Simon Hattenstone on electronic music
  

• Stephen Moss on modern architecture
  

• Jonathan Jones on jazz
  

• John Sutherland on surrealism
  

• Mark Lawson on ballet
  

I got this from the newly-relocated [sub]culture . [Some of these art forms don’t seem so ‘difficult’ to me…]
