Is it art?
As a young Fine Arts student in UP in the early 80s, my understanding of art was turned upside down when one of my early professors said that art was anything and everything, anywhere and everywhere. He said and I quote: “Oh, it’s the shoes you wear and the ad on the bus and the chair you sit on right now.” For one whose idea of art was something hung on a wall or put on a pedestal, the mind shift was difficult and long and it took me years, decades in fact, to fully embrace what my professor said. Today, of course, I take on the same view that everything is art.
