Yeah the definition of art has broadened in more recent years and it’s all good and dandy unless it hurts or causes distress to unwillingly participants, such as the guy who let a dog die from starvation in an art gallery. Ad it’s all good because art is all about communication and if human communication develops along with us as human beings then it’s just natural that art does too.

Oh man.

So everytime they checked us for lice in elementary school…they were quashing a potential creative outlet?

Ew.

At fsmarch: I’m pretty sure they have.

@ matt: Seconded
@ arty: I was a fine arts major too, and there were always people pushing the envelope of what was called art, but no one ever tried something this dumb. I’m sorry but, having living lice on your head is not art. I had a hard enough time accepting “Jack the Dripper” Jackson Pollock as an artist when I was in school.

Arty, if you have to scratch your head, maybe you’ve got some lice in there – time for an art show!

You wouldn’t promote Salvador Dali’s underwear as art – it’s more in the memorabilia category. I’m sure if Dali could find someone stupid enough to buy it, he would have sold it. I wonder if Dali even wore underwear…? I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t.

Is it art? It all depends on the categorisations system you use. I can see how some can legitimately claim lice in ones hair as art.

I reckon if you had a pair of Salvidor Dali’s undies with a skid mark, you’d promote them as valuable art, I would.
PS: It’s a nice idea BTW. LOL

Not very bright, and definitely not art.

Next they’ll be calling the skid marks in their underwear art.

I’m a fine arts major and nowadays, the concept of what is art is stretched more and more to the point where I have to scratch my head and wonder, is that really art?

“art is life, life is art,” how I wonder…

Lice are disgusting. If they let this go as long as they want to, there are health problems that could go along with the lice. EWWWW.

Not just lame. Super lame.

These guys must have lost a bet to be doing this because it makes no sense!!!

Then personal hygiene and common-sense must be très banal.

Ugh. When did Art become so stupid?

Oh yeah, and with the “artist’s” reasoning, every kindergarden is an art show.

Nowadays, Art seems to be synonymous with Stupidity…

That’s nasty. And where does it stop? Are we going to hear about someone who infected himself with HIV as “art”?

These people are just dumb.

Yuck! Just having lice in your hair is not art to me. There is not beauty, message, etc that would make it art. It’s just lice. More of an experiment that artistry I think.
