Is this art? (1 Viewer)

I don't get it. Maybe im just not refined enough.

 

[ChipFinderSK]

I can accept that I’ll never fully appreciate the first 2 as art, but the 3rd is just a cheap lamp and a tripping hazard.

Is this art?

 

[toynoob]

No on all 3.

 

[johnjohn]

nope.

 

[Quicksilver-75]

No. However, it is rediculous.
I've put similar things on my fridge. They would have gone in the garbage except I wanted my children to feel exceptional. I suspect something similar is happening with this curator and his friends..

I like this one

 

[stevea]

Looks like writers block for artists to me.

#1: is a study in red, as well as an exercise in diminishing brush strokes. You were standing too far back to truly appreciate/feel the emotional stir of this one.

#2: An exquisite use of light and shadow. How is this not brilliant?

#3: Sorry, even I cannot explain this PoS. Call an electrician and get it hardwired, you low-life apartment dweller.

Bonus Round, @Sprouty: This is an extremely amateurish exploration of shapes. If this was done by your child, I apologize. If this was done by an adult, they should apologize, then stick with painting. If they decide to make a poker table it would wind up looking like this...

But now I know where my "space" is on the poker table! I must have it.

Number one is a nice before and after effect. I like it.

I let you Google "Merda d'artista" by Piero Manzoni (circa 1960)

"Is this art or is it supposed to be thrown away?"

Something I remember from my art history classes at school...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp)
There's even a lengthy wikipedia article for this crap.

I've seen movies that have been absolute wastes of my time. Nobody questions that it was a movie.
I've read books that were unfinishable. Nobody questions that it was a book.
I've heard music that sounded like a man screaming as the entire band was thrown down the stairs. Nobody questions that it was music.
I've been served food that was unpalatable. Nobody questions that it was food.

Why does visual art that you dont like get questioned, when all other forms of art are accepted, even if it's terrible?

 

[toynoob]

You can't convince me eating tree bark is food.

 

[toynoob]

Me using a spoon on a counter top is also not music.

 

[Highli99]

My dog eats poop. Poop is not food.

Although @Poker Zombie offers an intriguing line of thought, I think this quickly approaches the philosophical debate on the existence or non-existence of truth.

If it is that bad of a movie. Why not question it?

The short answer is "because I can".

Cinnamon is tree bark from the cassia tree.

The Room...see The Room. It is such a bad movie (probably the worst) that it is excellent entertainment. Such a train wreck.

I think Tyre is worse than that... its literally about a tire rolling down the highway killing people

Edit: its called Rubber

Because an individual's opinion of quality has nothing to do with an object's generally accepted classification.

The short answer is "because I can"

You can, but your opinion regarding quality is not a valid argument in that context.

For example, I don't question that your Sunsets are poker chips.

Upon further review and soul searching I find this one actually speaks to my inner being. It screams "Ikea trip when I was too broke to afford a shade option".

Was Yoko Ono who made an exposition in New York which was an empty hall?
It was a "conceptual art performance" on which "the exposition was in her head"
