    The urinal is not art. The reaction to the urinal is art on a mastercraft level. No one has quite reached the same level of artistry since. You can duct tape a banana to a wall, but it just doesn’t create the same outrage as the urinal did.

      Did we read the same series of posts? I thought they made it very clear that the urinal is art and explained how the reaction was desired and how the artist tried to create that reaction?

      So what you mean to say is: “Trolling is a art.”

      art can have function and vice versa. A door handle is art. A lightswitch is art. They were designed and manufactured. Do(e) A Deer from the Sound of Music is just the most basic scale in music theory pretty much in chromatic order. It’s still a song. Same for the Alphabet song, it’s lyrics are just the alphabet, it’s still art.

      Toilets are also art. If you really wanted a toilet that had no artistry at all it’d be an uneven hole in the floor made with a hammer.

        I think that would then be performance art.
