#40 October 28th (class assignment response to Dave Barry article)

In response to Dave Barry-

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. "If a work of Conceptual art begins with the question 'What is art?', rather than a particular style or medium, one could argue that it is completed by the proposition 'This could be art': 'this' being presented as object, image, performance, or idea revealed in some other way. Conceptual art is therefore 'reflexive': the object refers back to the subject, as in the phrase 'I am thinking about how I think.' It represents a state of continual self-critique (pg 12 of Conceptual Art Packet)."
