I was re-watching “The Case for Conceptual Art” last night, and then this struck my eye at a coffee shop this morning. The shop walls are covered in huge canvas splatter paintings (I overheard one man offer to make one for his wife as “it doesn’t look too hard”) and mural paintings like the red octopus over the window. This is not to mention the antique coffee bean roaster in the corner or the hand-carved stair rail to the second floor. It’s interesting to think that they had to specifically state “this is not art” when they stored a palette above the doorway . And now that I’ve taken a picture of it, and contemplated it, and even made a post about it, isn’t it art? If a chair is art when we put it in a museum and call it art, then is a palette never art once we’ve declared it so? #saturdaymusings #ishouldbegrading #theartassignment #thisisnotart @sarahuristgreen (at The Governor's Cup Coffee Roasters) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnwOwiIB5fc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oxwkzi800fz1
