Art or crap

Quiz: Art or Crap - Look at pictures and mark whether you're looking at works of art or just plain, old crap. My score: 7/16. I like to think of this as my low-brow contribution to the art discussion that Kyle started.

I also missed three, including “Michael Jackson and Bubbles” by Jeff Koons. Gringo’s right. That is absolute crap.

Mistaken for art: the urinal and the plaster cast of a victim at Pompeii. Haven’t they seen Ghost World? “Found art” is fair game.

I got 12/16. Guess my mind is warped and I see art in odd things. Congrats on passing your tests. Good luck in the job search.

I also have a problem with the false dichotomy (right word? right spelling?). Just because something’s not art–like a comfy office chair or a nice can of soup–doesn’t make it crap. And let’s be honest, the michael jackson thing seems to be both art *and* crap.

And that’s today’s philisophical minute with Matt.
