Conceptual art is something that is arbitrary. When an artist creates a piece of the art they have different messages they want to convey. A conceptual artist creates an ambigious idea and wants the viewer to articulate their own opinions. The artist sets up a foundation, and then the viewer is like the architect, and every person has thier own design. As for the fact if I enjoy conceptual art, I think I would, but maybe not as much as all the other art styles we have learned about. I am sure I can think of ideas and concepts artists would like to convey, but I enjoy it more when there is something so visually pleasing I become lost in all the intricacies and amazing use of color, light, space etc.
I was wondering when I could ever speak about this artist whom I just learned his name: Marco Evaristti. This Chilean born artist had an exposition in Denmark where he put fish in a blender, and in the end blended them up. Initially when I thought of why someone would do this, is to show the analogy that someone else is in control of their lives, and do all animals have to suffer this button of death. When interviewd he said the reason was to test people's boundary of right and wrong, I think it is wrong to kill animals for no reason, eating them would be a long story....but what do you guys think, is this conceptual art????

I don't know if that is right or wrong but it is definitely gross.
