I think the question here, is not what art is, but why art is made. If you plan to make a living as an artist, you have to give the people what they want, but if you are creating art only because you want to create it, then who cares what it is? If it was never intended for any purpose other than the artist's enjoyment, then the art can be anything you want. But if you want to be a marketable artist, you better make work about political issues and other shit everyone else cares about. I wonder which is more selfish.
