Just because I don't agree with it, wouldn't do it myself, or find it to be highly offensive does not mean that it isn't art. Art should make the viewer feel something. The fact that I'm not into the Stones and I find their music to be trivial, boring pop bubblegum doesn't make them not artists who are very good at what they do. Art takes all shapes and sizes. And guess what? They made me feel something. It just happens that the feeling that the Stones engender in me is ambivalence.
I have very strong feelings about our flag and how it should be treated and displayed. That said, I pose this question: Which is more disrespectful, an artist trying to make statement by forcing the viewer to physically step on our flag, or politicians in the beltway who metaphorically step on our flag, day in an day out, with every breath that they can muster?

So how brilliant is the art of walking on an American flag on the floor of an "art" museum?

Sorry, some would say crapping in a toilet can be art, I disagree, crapping in a toilet is as artful as rap music.
And the "art activist" is nothing other than a political tool, but even he is too stupid to realize it. |
