This is a slowly building searchable database of words and media on the nature of art. It is intended for use as a discussion aid and educational resource.
It includes both found and selected existing content and direct responses to the questions “What is art?” and “What isn’t art?”
Please contribute! If you have found a quote, book, video, or any other content you think is inspiring or challenging, send it in. If you would like to create a response of any kind, email it along with your name, what you do, and when the response was created.
An example would be Marcel Duchamp, Artist, 1917.
You can be as specific as you like or as abstract. Content can range from academic and analytical to personal and humorous.
Mail all contributions, feedback, and questions to: contribute@whatisntart.net.
Anyone and everyone is also encouraged to discuss through the comments as well!
