Re: Art Is Useless
How many time do I have to say this? It applies across all media, mediums and/or genre.
"When words such as painting and sculpture are used, they connote a whole tradition and imply a consequent acceptance of this tradition, thus placing limitations on the artist who would be reluctant to make art that goes beyond the limitations."
"The concept and idea are different. The former implies a general direction while the latter is the component. Ideas implement the concept."

Enjoy.

Re: Art Is Useless
I dislike conceptual art for two reasons. how it's not exciting, just a conclusion. how it's an idea; ideas are like navels.
what's good about the idea above? the fact you can reply to it in a meme, rather than rigorously defend it's claims in print, suggests it's a bad f idea.

Re: Art Is Useless
take a truism, add some hyberbole, make something crude to illustrate of it, then get excited cos it's been done.If conceptual art yields cognitive value, that is to say, it tends to be so trivial that it barely deserves the name.
The argument puts a finger on an experience shared by many spectators of conceptual art who feel conned or deceived by it. Not only are conceptual artworks not beautiful, one might object, they don’t even tell us anything over and beyond banal clichés. What, then, is conceptual art really good for?
