What we like is subjective - but Art transcends such considerations, so Art per se is not subjective.Dawn Roberts said:As we all know, art is subjective, so I don't think just adding a frame makes it art. If you call it art...it's art. If you consider it art..it's art.
Subjective means one person's view. Society defines Art by consensus and then influences what we consider to be Art.
This issue was raised by Duchamp back around 1917 when he came up with the idea of 'ready mades'.

This was a work he put up at an exhibition - and outraged the organisers who said it was 'an Art exhibition, not a plumber's merchants'.
Duchamp's answer was reputedly 'it's being exhibited in an Art gallery, it's signed by an artist.... and you can't p*ss in it. So if it isn't Art then tell me what it is.'
The argument has raged ever since.
And yes, that was the point I was making about frames.
We do everything for a reason. I therefore like to question everything we do. The answers give more meaning to the activity
