About this leqture:
Why is the painting of sunflowers by Van Gogh considered art, but an exact replica not? Why is no one surprised that a simple nylon thread or a urinal are exhibited and lauded at an art gallery and sometimes sold for hundreds of thousands or Euros? Is graffiti vandalism or art? Krzysztof Dobrowolski explains what the criteria are to call something “art”. In this interactive leqture, you can figure out whether art is only made by artists, what the role of marketing is and whether beauty can be objectively classified.
Over deze leqture:
Waarom zijn de zonnebloemen van Vincent van Gogh kunst, maar echte zonnebloemen niet? Hoe is het mogelijk dat een simpele nylon draad en een urinoir werden tentoongesteld als kunstobjecten? Kan graffiti ook kunst zijn? Krzysztof Dobrowolski laat zien wanneer we iets ‘kunst’ noemen. Kom erachter of kunst alleen van kunstenaars komt, welke rol marketing speelt en of schoonheid objectief is vast te stellen.
