1. what if art IS crap....

[ALago1]

2. I got a 10

The Brillo Box by Warhol threw me off big time. I thought it was crap! :)

[TreasonousBastard]

7. I still think it's crap...

but I figured the veggies and urinal were ringers. I was right on the veggies.

And I think the bicycle seat on the chair is a conspiracy to bring Dadaism to the office.

3. Crappy art?

Not an either/or proposition.

[RobertSeattle]

4. Would love to see a "Democrat" or "Republican" one

Examples:

This party has championed Social Security and protected it since the 1930s

This party campaigned on balanced budgets but when this party held both the executive and leglislative branches of government ran the largest deficits ever.

5. I said everything was art

the quiz said "half right, not bad". LOL

6. I had to vote my conscience

So I flagged some crappy art.

8. 11/16

But I protest the Andy Warhol piece. Andy Warhol IS crap.

9. 12 of 16.

Not bad for someone who never even took an art history class!

The Andy Warhol Brillo box fooled me too.

[Delano]

10. I put "art on almost all of them.

Even a urinal is a work of art. Somebody had to design, sculpt the original mold.

As far as I'm concerned, something being functional & mass-produced doesn't make it any less a work of art.

23. for anyone interested in . . .

what happens when an intelligent person attempts to set up a false dichotomy between "functional/mass produced" and "art," I suggest Mazer v. Stein (a copyright case from, like, 1953, involving a lamp).

11. The Micheal Jackson\Bubbles thing threw me

I thought it was crap ( actually, I still think it is crap but apparently it is crap art not just crap )

[Shananigans]

12. 12/16...not too bad...

[ZenLefty]

13. I've seen artists who compose their work out of human feces

They call it art. You can guess what I call it. x(

[Melsky]

14. I heard about a guy who canned it

he had his shit canned and labeled, and sold it to galleries and museums.

That might just be an urban legend though.

[Blue-Jay]

15. What's the shelf life on a Can-O-Poo®, I wonder....

:shrug:

[Zookeeper]

17. The artist's name was...

Piero Manzoni, a Milanese artist. Manzoni made an edition of ninety signed and numbered cans in 1961. A couple of years later, after much heavy drinking, he died at the age of thirty.

In 1990 a can of Piero Manzoni's "Merde d'Artista" would sell for between 38,000-67,980 English Pounds at Christie's in London.

19. Some found its way to my grocery store

I believe the artist's name was "Chef Boy R. Dee".

[SOteric]

16. WooHoo! All 16!! - Sadly,

this is owing to an overfamiliarity with crap.

[LostInAnomie]

18. If it's not Scottish it's CRAP!!!!

[NoPasaran]

20. I may not know art

But I know when it's crap! 9/16

[VOX]

21. 14/16 "You teach art, don't you?" No, but at last...

My majoring in Art in college has paid off!

[DS1]

22. This is bullshit, both the shiny figurines are crap. I spoken.

[Angelus]

24. 8/16...

I don't really care for art, though, so I think most of it is crap.

[BritishHuman]

25. 6/16

That's worse than choosing randomly.

Clearly I should not be allowed to decorate.
