Once youve entered the world of Art, you...absolutley Must reject rules. If youre imposing a rule youre limiting your vocabulary

"You must know the rules in order to break them, and you must have a good reason to break them." - a quote from a good artist I knew.

Not knowing the rules or why they are in place is limitating artistic vocabulary. Breaking them without (at some level) knowing why is reckless stupidity. Breaking rules for the sake of it is juvenile.

I suppose anything with a rationale or intention of being art is art. But I think "what is art?" or "what makes something art?" is a far less important discussion than "what is good art?" and "what makes art good?".

... a banana randomly duck taped to a blank wall is shit art at best, and highly likely the intent was not art but simply money laundering, and if it can be proved as such, then I believe it is not art.
