Is Wei Wei's output 'art'?
Jay Doubleyou: art

Is Britian's most famous artist producing 'art'?



Jon Snow explores whether Damien Hirst's art is a 'con' - YouTube

Is graffiti 'art'?
Jay Doubleyou: art questions
Jay Doubleyou: the disappearing banksys
Jay Doubleyou: banksy is not only provocative - he's very popular...

But perhaps this TV series from 1972 is the most provocative:


A BAFTA award-winning BBC series with John Berger, which rapidly became regarded as one of the most influential art programmes ever made. In the first programme, Berger examines the impact of photography on our appreciation of art from the past.

Ways of Seeing is a 1972 BBC four-part television series of 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb. Berger's scripts were adapted into a book of the same name. The series and book criticize traditional Western cultural aesthetics by raising questions about hidden ideologies in visual images. The series is partially a response to Kenneth Clark's Civilisation series, which represents a more traditionalist view of the Western artistic and cultural canon.
