I agree completely. You can find a level of art in everything. But at what level does it become "art"? That is defined by society, not just one person, although "officially", those 1000 critics have a lot of sway. And in today's society, a bicycle is not art.
So why not help people
see it as art? Why not challenge the societal assumptions? Isn't that one of the roles "art" has sometimes played?
Incidentally, I was at the Met not that long ago, and there was a lot of stuff in there that doesn't necessarily fit the cultural definition of "high art." Including an excellent exhibit of guitars.
