And here we are talking about it.
If I take my pants off and walk down the street people will talk about me. Seems like a low bar.
If.
Yeah, it's called performance art. You're not wrong in disliking it as slop, but the barrier for what is art is empirically low.
Last time I did it the cops didn't take that excuse. You'd think doing it near a school would make it obvious it was an artistic performance too.
Artists have often gotten caught in trouble with the law, many justifiably so for having done generally bad things, still artists though
Yes the bar for what is art is so low as to be buried.
That's the god damn point. Anyone can make art. That's the whole damn reason uptight asswads get upset when something new shows up and reminds them of that fact.
What matters is what the viewer think, if they believe it art then thus it is.
I do not believe the paint by number crayon drawing of a 4 year old is of value thus it is not art to me. But to their father and mother? It is of the highest value and the highest form of art.
I hope this guy's mother is proud then at least.
