But he has never called it high art. If he went around, jerking off how good he is then I would get your point. Art is supposed to create discussion, whether that’s negative or positive. No matter how “shitty” it is, if it gets people talking, it’s done its job. That’s what makes art difficult to put in a box and define. I also think the banana stunt was stupid, I’ll readily say it but at the same time I do also think it accomplished what it set out to do. How many articles came out of that? How many conversations?

Every definition of art like this one falls apart if you put it under any form of scrutiny.
Lots of people are talking about this Luka Doncic trade. If the Mavs GM comes out and says "guys, it's just art", does that mean he made good art?
