The quest to find as good as i can a definition of art is what made me want to do a masters in philosophy of art!
I tried, hopelessly to make the destinction between art and craft with my lecturer - he was having none of it *sigh* but that doesn't help with the current debate.
Unfortunately i think we have to take the vain uninteresting and frnakly quite unoriginal attempts at being controversial as "art" but i feel we can still judge it to be "bad art - seems we take too much emphasis on a name of an artist and the opinions of the few. Cover up the name, judge its merit, then see who did it to know where to send the review!

I agree. Let them call it art, let us decide if it's rubbish (or not). If the definition of what art is is subjective, so can defining good or bad be. I propose a quick journey round the Tate Modern with little stickers with ticks and crosses on. If we like, we like, if we don't we don't. Power to the People (to quote an artist)
