In today’s episode, Jacquelyn, Ronaldo, and Andre discusses the Chained Cat, a bronze cat statue at Columbia University that was chained by school officials to prevent theft. The statue has become well-known by generations of students, prompting us to ask if the chain should be considered part of the art. This requires us to call into question how we define art. Does the artist’s intention determine if something is art? Or rather, does the audience’s experience and interpretation make something art?
