Questions this show brings up:
- Is creation of an atmosphere enough to be "art"?
- Does "art" need a complicated concept?
- Could intriguing aesthetics be enough for a piece to be considered "art"?
- If art that has a concept can still be "art" without any consideration of aesthetics or skill, why are aesthetics and/or skill not enough for something (contemporary) without a concept to be considered "art"? Is concept the most important thing to contemporary art?
- If a show has been curated based on aesthetic qualities (in this case all the pieces are electric lights), can we still say that the aesthetics are less important than the concepts? Surely within this show the main "point" is light, which is something aesthetic, and the concepts are just things which happened to come with the pieces?
