If I got a group of people together in Red Square and had them all dance around in cow dung, wearing nothing but their underwear, and blasting music from Moby, would anyone consider that art?

No, it would be considered a crime, and they would be arrested for hooliganism. Then, probably fined big time, and released.

Ok, what if I moved the venue to another location, like inside a building that I was renting. Would you still consider this art? Or so you think this is total crap?

If you are asking me, I would still say it's crap, but that's just my opinion... ask some other Russians.... Laughing

Of course, some people will consider that art. They will even invite you to see their beautiful art collection in Lubianka. Wink

Ah yes. It was time for a little vacation. It was nice to get away for a little while. And I have to say, it seems a lot more civilized here, since I have returned. I hope it remains this way for a spell.

nada...went to a wedding today...well work first and then on to the festivities! Daria saw the link too...and jojo did also...we are all in agreement...art is a very subjective thing...and although that style isn't what I am into...I will give the person credit. Did you watch them all? There were a couple that actually were OK. BUt yes the ones you mentioned...I didn't like either. We have places here though where I live that I think people would appreciate it...but too the area I live in is like...well in one way like Laguna Beach...if you know anything about that place Wink
