Some might call this art. I reckon it's sh!t.

Yes I consider it art, I don't think its that good it interesting though but others will, not my role to deem if it is worthy of a grant.

Where does it mention she got a grant to do it, I'm viewing on my phone so it may not have displayed the full content. Also that's in England so not really relevant

Was only using it as an example of what I consider not Art.  I agree it is in the eye of the behold.  If you can see that as Art you are better then I.  How taking a mould of the hole after you urinate in snow is Art, is beyond me, same as making crap from used tampons.  But some 'people' consider that Art too.

I think you guys are missing the point.
The "Art" is conning the govt to give you money that a whole heap of pretentious puks stare at for hours & announce how they see the artists pain & struggle from womb to tomb whilst secretly wishing they were viewing the majestic Australian outback & drinking a can of VB. Matter of fact I can see it now

I reckon that piss art is going to catch on. Just don't get a lemon gelato from the kiosk at her exhibition though.

I have heaps of art. My wife painted it. It is sitting under the stairs clogging all my camping stuff up. If you want some just ask and you can have whatever you want.
