More From P.S. 1
Oh, modern art. So crazy, so strange. I mean, really, what is art? There were a lot of things at P.S. 1 that were cool, most of them strange, but does strange make art? Then there are those pieces of art that just seem normal. I remember a set of photos of New York that were nothing special except that they were black and white. I almost feel like I could do the same thing if I were armed with a huge bottle of alcohol and an SLR with a flash.
It's a lot like the episode of The Simpsons when Homer becomes an artist, pawning off his crap as art. But if people buy that crap, is it then art?

My theory is that anything can be art as long as you have a good bullshit story to back it up.
I've placed my wisdom teeth on the floor of this stark room to symbolize mine and the world's loss of innocence. The teeth are angled toward Mecca, because I believe all hardened portions of our body yearn to make a pilgrimage to a holy land, but they are oppressed by the softness of our body: skin, brain, my flaccid penis... Please fill my wine glass.
Boom. Art.
