Profane is when you play with the art or design. Which some
people disagree with profanity but for me I think it is another method that can
pull high art down, so that another people can understand. In the past people
thing that art is for only high class people and normal people can't understand
it, but then Andy Warhol use the method of profane. He created a funny art
piece that allow people to understand it such as the cambell soup, which is
played with the concept of reproduction in that time. After he play with this kind of profane it
become more popular and finally it ease the old concept of art always need to
be high class that normal people can't reached. Andy Warhol is an example of
successful profane but there aren't like that. The Mandarin Oriental Chiang Mai
is also trying to play with the idea of profane, by using the form of Lana temple and reuse it in the
resort. But some people disagree with what they are doing, for some think that
they are making fun with Buddhism. So I think before you will use profanity you
must think carefully that is it okay to play with it or not.
