And of course they're right.

And painting is not art, and sculpture is not art either. Nor is architecture 
or elephant dung or porcelain urinals or performance.

No medium is art. But some photographs, and some paintings and some sculptures, 
dungballs and pisspots are art. Some of them are even good art. But most of 
them aren't.

Just don't ask me to tell you why.
