I read
I'm sick of pretending, by Glen Coco, yesterday and must agree that often, I have no idea what art is. In first year, the one lecturer asked for a definition of what art is, and some people were fairly certain that they knew, that they could define it, dictionary-style, in a paragraph. Three years later, I am more clueless than ever. What is art? What is it not? Sure, I know about different movements and ideas that were more present during a specific period in history, but I don't know if
simply calling something "art" is enough.
These are some of my favourite works, simply because I like looking at them.
