Think again about the work we saw at OMA today and consider the paragraph in Chapter One of Danto's "The End of Art" which begins halfway down on page 13. It starts, "The sixties was a paroxysm of styles..." and ends with "You had, in brief, to turn to philosophy."
1. Can you think of any of the objects in OMA that could be used as an example of what art is? Could it be the ONLY example? Why or why not?
2. If postmodernism means that you cannot teach the meaning of art by example, as Danto claims, how do you teach it? By what means?
We will share our answers in class on Monday. Please complete two journal pages on this post.
