"If I can do it, untrained and unpracticed, it isn't art"
There goes 99% of the crap that goes as art.
My best examples are:
Empty room with a chair
Empty room with two chairs
A video loop of a tree
A table with open noodle packets
There is a movie/documentary called Exit from the gift shop. Perfectly illustrates what you are talking about. How people went crazy for an oversized tomato can, well, because, .... aaaaawt...
And then you go and see the Cologne Dom, or the Sagrada Familia, and you only can feel awe.
When I see that an artist has gotten 50 grand grants from some crap of an aaawt institution to come up with a room, one chair and one table, to illustrate social justice in the internet age, what I want to do, if depicted here would be more art that that waste of oxygen can ever come up with.
But I am not an artist, so I got no say on beauty I suppose.
Let's call it postmodern crap, at least that is somewhat honest.
