If you walk into my home and tell me the picture on my wall isnt art, I have a right to have you arrested for trespassing. Perspective trumps intent in reality. You have a right in America to express your opinions, however the word "free" is a debatable term 😂 🤦. I hope we can build towers of babel together through dialogue on the internet, but we arent there yet. What we have right now is a discussion which always drives "dis-unity" though it cam be used to inform. Ill think about your words, hope you can think of mine.
Discussion
First, hanging “a picture” on your wall doesn’t make it art- family photos are hung on the wall for example, that is not hanging art on the wall. Certainly a photo of a family can be art, the nuance is important.
Second, I never mentioned anything about freedoms, or America? Your perspective seems US centric.
If you are thinking of my words, I’d suggest you read again and think harder, because your response seems influenced by words other than my own.
Finally, I’m not sure I’d want to walk into your house and talk about what you have hung on the wall if your response is to call the police for trespassing on a disagreement. Not my kind of friend.
Your words are in my words: intention makes something art. My response: the receiver of the thing determines the value, and if it is welcome at all. I am central US so take that for what its worth.
You make an assumption that art must be received? What if there is no receiver, only a creator? Is it not art?
As a creator of art, sometimes it’s not intended to be given or shared with anyone other than myself.
For one I am glad you did not block me. To answer your question, I think you are the receiver in that case.
By definition, creator creates. Art is not received, it is created, with intention.
Maybe you should try it sometime?
Now you are adding terms 🤦 no big deal 🤙 I like this video for Art by Seth Godin. If you want to discuss creation, that is a whole other bag of things 😁: https://youtu.be/rdUeq09cGJ0
