Should the practice of using exclusively words as a mean of representing something figurative be considered a work of art? Got into a discussion with someone I know about this, and he should know better because he works in the art world and reports back to the government about it. Anyway, it all started because he has this canvas in his living room that simply says: 'Reject The Mother'. That to me is not art at all, but he reckons that it is, and simply because it can be when heavily contexualized, like he says. I don't fucking think so, leave the writing to the writers, or at least incorporate it into something that has visual qualities, rather than a nice display of one's calligraphy.
