Art is really pathetic if taping a banana to a wall is considered art
I agree. I once went to an art museum and saw a pickup truck with a lot of trash and debris in the bed. I couldn't figure out what made it art, let alone why it was at an art museum.

I always thought it was to make fun of art and in doing so became its own art. Never looked into it though.

Banana on a wall absolutely is art.The question rather, is banana on a wall good art or bad art?

Most people would probably say no. I think banana on a wall is interesting but it doesn't make me feel anything and my life isn't better for it having been created. So I guess I'd say bad art.


How?

I would've taken one bite, tape it back and collect my royalties.
You would get a few day's worth of royalties before a new banana gets taped back on the wall, lol. Some bean counters would see to that

It's art by the very action of being presented as such.

Been awhile since I've seen a 2nd post /topic that was this good.

I think almost anything is art that has a concept behind it. To a lesser extent, also how it is framed and presented.

There is good art and bad art. That's kind what I am getting at. Art isn't a mark of quality. A banana on the wall might be bad art but I don't see what doesn't make it art. It is a concept planned with a purpose. I haven't seen the piece in person, but I probably wouldn't gain anything myself from seeing it. I'd say it's bad art.

I am reminded of the piece 4'33" by composer John Cage. The piece instructs the players to sit still for 4'33". Nobody moves, nobody makes a sound. The composer stands still. People have debated this up and down but it is similar. I (think) the idea behind it from John Cage's perspective is that the music is coming from the ambient sounds that happen during the performance. Or maybe a larger part about how even in a composition that insists on silence, sound is everywhere.

I am not an expert on any of this. My firm belief is that a lot of things qualify as art, but not all of it is good.

Taping a banana to a wall doesn't take much planning, and it's only a few seconds of work.

I'm not saying a banana on a wall isn't art just..... that I don't get it

I've never understood this kind of thing. I appreciate art but this one is a bit too abstract for me

It isn't art though. Plus all they had to do was get a new banana which they would have done anyway.

If he ate the banana, does that mean he's the art now and the gallery has to pay him to sit there or something?

At least until he poops it out and the poop is taped to the wall with diminished value?

Is 12K for the poop fair?

i suppose the "art" is in the thought- the concept. whatever his idea is behind the abstraction. consider the tape and banana simply expendable pieces of a machine meant to be replaced over time, whereas the machine itself is the art, however intangible

or it's just a stupid banana

I think the bigger issue here is the audacity of the thinking.

There's a big entitlement issue in Korea that's just been getting worse and worse. It's especially bad with male students doing whatever they see fit with no regard for anyone else.

Yeah, it's just a banana. But that mindset is getting more and more prevalent and leading to some horrible things here.

Who determines what is truly art tho

If anything, it seems pretentious to think you can insist something isn't art because it's personally trash to you. Especially in regards to Jackson Pollock's paintings


Jackson Pollock is an entirely different case. He just splattered paint randomly everywhere.
