This marks the end of my Perez days...

Let's leave the definition of art to artistsI'm pretty disgusted though not surprised with this little write up. I always laugh anytime an article says "but is it art?" like there's some clear and precise definition of art, or better yet, that regular people even have the scope to understand what real art even is. It's like my good friend John

I'm definitely not try to defend perez fucking hilton but I think everyone is welcome to define what art is for themselves. I mean its not like artists share a common definition of art. That particular piece of performance art kind of sounds like bullshit to me. I mean it sounds shocking for the sake of being shocking. Was the artist expressing something he felt or looking for a reaction? At the same time if that performance really spoke to someone, I'm not trying to say "you're wrong/pretentious/whatever". I just disagree with "leaving art to artists". I've had this discussion about a billion times and it never ends well, but is it art if no one sees it? because any viewer is basically a critic. so uh... critics are useful for art to actually exist is I think what I believe. ps how have you been? I was way sick when you sent me that text last sunday.
