1. Walt Whitman said, "All that a person does or thinks is of consequence." Joseph Beuys echoed this when he said, "the enlarged conception of Art includes every human action." Whoa, is this true? And what does this say about how artists have to live or who they have to be?
2. "Conceptual art is not necessarily logical," noted Sol Le Witt. Well, neither is life. What are the goals of conceptual art?
3. M Lamar is an artists who celebrates and parodies the idea of the chanteuse (a female nightclub singer): he deconstructs the diva even as he wraps himself in diva like hauteur. He is being called a post-structuralist transgendering singer. What do you guys think about this kind of art? What do you think about all of this labelling and word play that art theorists do? Does it compartmentalize art? Does it make it elitist? Does it make it easier to read?
