OPEN FOR DEBATE

Focusing on the 'is it art' project at the moment I am looking to open up anybody to have their own opinions about art, or what they perceive as art, this is either what they have seen which is branded art or something they have seen which they think could be art. This opens up the enjoyment of observation, and looking at the world around us in a different light. As art is becoming more and more accessible it doesn't mean people understand it.

I feel that this works needs to open out a conversation between a group of people or just to make you question your own perception of art. I want it to give more than just a yes, no or any other one word answer. Art is subjective, which I guess means your views can never be wrong. Which goes back to one of my original sources of Marcel Ducamp, and his urinal project.

I also feel that this piece should have some form of satirical take on art, so it questions art itself, while also promoting it. At the end of the day art is made and viewed for pleasure, weather it has a serious message or not.
