Excuse me, is this a work of art?

"Excuse me, is this a work of art?" is an intervention in contemporary art museums. The project is a commentary about the confusion and sometimes the absurdity of conceptual art. The first stage of the project was made at the MoMA in New York in April 2007.

It is funny but the project has nothing to do with art, I don't understand who are you fighting with or what; conceptualism is not a science, (obviously), and it doesn't want to prove anything as so, pragmatism is not part of the theory of conceptualism; not as far as I know. -Please reply.-

who said that conceptualism is a science? Actually can you explain to me what conceptualism is? for what I can read you may know better than I do. And I am not fighting, I was just making a commentary about an issue that is very well known in the contemporary art field.

The good artist will be the one who renounces to earn huge sums of money, all the rest is bullshit, conceptual and abstract art serves the purpose of making money, NOW a real brave artist would ALWAYS challenge those rich people who buys their art! HAHAHAH

once an art becomes comercial or made for profit or fame, it looses its art, anyone can create somthing to put in a gallery, but a true artist would rather perfect his art and have fun with it.

Love this, it is so true to life. Modern or conceptual "art" is like the emperors new clothes.

I like the end, .... and when you're confronting the public with the palaces where they sit
