In 1964, Ben Vautier sat down with a placard saying, “Look at me. That’s all it takes; I’m art,” written in French and took a photo. This makes us wonder whether man can truly be considered art, and even further, what actually defines the term art? In today’s episode, Alton Giventer and Ashley Marin take a look at this photograph and discuss Vautier’s statement, along with the questions it brings up. Is art something subjective and up to each person’s individual preference, or are there certain characteristics that can be used to identify something as artwork? Join us to hear Alton and Ashley discuss these questions that help shape the way we view art in general.
