Is This Art?

A conceptual artist named Adrian Piper has been collecting her hair and toenails since 1985, and will include her cremated remains in the piece when she dies. I vote no, but what do I know? The only art I like is this painting of Alf.

  • …I know it's all in good fun, but one doesn't get to vote on whether something is art or not. The artist decides. You may vote on whether it's good or bad art however. Have fun.

  • I guess that's the cool thing with art and conceptual art in general. it's based on an idea so the artist has full creativity to do whatever he/she wants. like sol dewitt hires other artists to do his wall drawings through specific instructions… or even Duchamp and his fountain piece. he just took a toilet and it was considered an artwork. hm.. or even jackson pollack's drip paintings. some ppl will be totally enamored by it..others will be like wtf is that? i guess it's an ongoing debate over what is art and what isn't but in the end, it's pretty much up to you. but then, i don't know anything about art either so…
