Are You Bored - Try Reading This Intro To "who Says It's Art Art?"

I belong to this group on Linkedin and there is this read on a book by Michelle MarderKamhi http://www.mmkamhi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Introduction-to-WHO-SAYS-THATS-ART-by-Michelle-Kamhi-2.pdf "Who Says Thats Art, A common sense view of the visual arts"

I found it interesting to say the least - it's a bit of a long read 8 or so PDF pages.

I just read the first bit to see I probably agree

If Art Can Be Anything, Then It Is Nothing

Art is a much overused term now. Especially when it comes to urinals lol

I have not got the time to read at present but will do :)

The term "Art" is about as meaningful as "Fine Art America."

I just read all 9 pages..ART??? I like to think I'll know it when I see it.. and no book is going to convince me one way or the other..

Ah yes - that's sort of what I got out of the whole read - "If art can be anything, then it is nothing"
