So if I'm really good at stacking boxes that's an art?

depends on how you do it really

It depends.
Why are you stacking the boxes?

it's all about the finesse and skill of your work

well played tetris is definitely an artform

^

If you are stacking boxes simply so that people can look at the boxes and think about how well they’re stacked. Stacking the boxes was art.
If it’s you’re job to stack boxes, and you’re really fast and efficient at it. Well good for you. You’re great at your job. And we might be amazed and impressed. But it’s not art.

Exactly it is a skill that creates said art. Nothing wrong with appreciating skill.

It’s not the skill.

skill is an artform

It’s the purpose.

I can pick up a pencil right now and draw a stick figure man pooping into a teacup.
That’s art.
It’s really *bad* art. But it’s art.

perhaps this whole theory of 'art' is totally subjective?

No wonder art sucks nowadays when everyone make everything an art.

lol

are is indeed a social construct

If I am cleaning out one of the bins at work and spill iron oxide all over some scrap cardboard... it might land in such a way to create a beautiful pattern that everyone adores.
It’s not art. It’s an accident.

Nah that's art

... but if it commands a price - it's art!

You have to decide to create a thing that has no purpose other than be appreciated and judged *as* art.

I laid a massive shit the other day. Art.

Then you are making art.

Lol

I gotta go make dinner.

of course, stacking boxes can command a price too (in the form of a wage) - so you know, whatever

Thanks for that image as I go.

some people consider cooking dinner an art - have fun!

I just remembered there were japanese performers literally doing construction work as an art performance trending on vine and youtube a couple years ago

hey guys

niggers.

Art is gay

depends

but mostly nowadays

yeh

Why do people hate on that ballwax guy? I dont like the government, cops, courts, public roads existing, but so long as it does, it should be consistent. And you cant deny service on the basis of race, so why whould you be able to on the basis of sex?

must be weird for an alien to come down... see the progression of art right up to the renaissance period and then suddenly like... wtf happen?

whut?
