at least that’s what cleaners
at a gallery in Bolzano, Italy
were probably thinking when they threw away an installation called ‘Where shall we godancing
tonight?’ To be fair, the
installation was a room designed to look like
there had been a party there the night before. It was filled with empty bottles and party
decorations, and was meant to
be a comment on corruption in Italy in
the1980s. Unfortunately, it
was so realistic that the cleaners missed the message
and threw the whole thing
away. Interestingly, rather than asking
the artist to go back
to squareone, the gallery owners
went through the bins and
rebuilt the piece more or less as it
was originally. On the other side
of the world, at the
Museum of Modern Artin San Francisco, two teenage visitors
were impressed by many of the sophisticated
and occasionally shocking works of art on display there.
However, they found some of
the pieces to be more puzzling than inventive, and others to be
the sort of thing they could probably do themselves. And that’s what they did. When nobody was looking,
one of them placed their glasses on the ‑
floor below an official-looking piece of paper.Within
minutes, people began to stop
in front of the ‘unique’exhibit
to discuss and photograph it. At the
same time, the two teenagers photographed the people and
posted the images on Twitter,
where they quickly went viral. These parallel stories raise a familiar question; ‘what is and isn’t art?’ Most would agree that
Michelangelo’s spectacular ceiling of the Sistine chapel, the expressive face of Da
Vinci’s Mona Lisa and the
atmospheric paintings of Claude Monet
are great examples of classical
art. Such works demonstrate great skill, express the artists’
emotions, and often make political, social or historical
points. When it comes to
more modern andabstract art, however, opinions are divided. Does, for example,
Andy Warhol’s unchanging 8-hour single shot film of the Empire State Building
really demonstrate artistic skill? What is there to say
about Damien Hirst’s series of over a thousand paintings of dots of different colours and sizes?
Are these artists revealing their
inner-thoughts and connecting with others, or are they making huge
amounts of money from exploiting the audience? If their work gets
you talking, doesthat make it art? If
the artist, the critics and
the experts say a work of art is
meaningful, should we simply agree? Sometimes even specialists struggle to decide
whether something is art or
not. Belgian researchers showed expertsand non-experts a series of photographic
portraits, some of which were valuable works of art
and others simple passport photographs. The results revealed that the experts
were no better at identifying
the recognised works of art
than the non-experts. In fact, the researchers
reported that the experts were more likely
to mistake the valuable works of art for the simple photographs. And, what about you?
Can you tell what is art and what
isn’t? Have a go: which of
the two pieces in the photographs at the bottom of
the page do you think is a real work of art? This article has asked
far more questions than it has answered, so drawing
conclusions is difficult. Presumably you weren’t expecting
a definitive answer to ‘What
is and isn’t art?’ in a short article like this, anyway.
Perhaps it’s safe to say that it
is for the individual to decide. Some
modern art is breathtaking, skilful and profound,
and some classical art lacks exactly those qualities. Finally, what about the challenge from the previous paragraph? Which of the
works of art is ‘real’?
Well, you are probably not going to
like this, butthe answer is neither of
them! I’m not an artist
and I did them both on my laptop
in less than two minutes.
Art? 4. Read the article again and choose the
correct answers.
